*Numbers refer to Ministerial private office staff appointments, i.e. posts of Personal Assistant, Personal Secretary, Special Adviser and Civilian Driver employed under contract. These contracts terminate not later than the date on which the office holder who made the appointment ceases to hold the office by reference to which he or she is an office holder (i.e. ceases to hold the office of Minister of the Government or Minister of State).
**The figure of 84,864.92 in 2008 reflects the total amount of severance payments made to two ministerial appointees while the figure of 83,057.99 reflects the total amount of severance payments to seven ministerial appointees in 2009.
***For ill health early retirement in 2007 Pension of 19,486 p.a is payable and a lump sum of 58,457 has been paid in 2007, however as its ill health retirement, the cost of this is borne by the IDA pension fund and not by the IDA/DETE.
