The average salary per grade grouping provided to me by FÁS is set out in the table in respect of the years 1998 to 2008. The figures are not available at individual grade level as it is not possible to extract this retrospectively from the computer payroll system. For the same reason figures in respect of 1997 can not be provided at this stage.
For ease of comparison the figures for all years are expressed in euro.
