191 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health, in the context of his special adviser’s reducing the work commitment from full time to one third, that special adviser’s outgoing full time salary; their proposed new salary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5817/12]
View answerMy Special Adviser is currently paid at the first point of the Principal Officer (Standard) Scale which ranges from €80,051 to €92,672. As I have already informed the Deputy, I am in discussions with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform regarding changes to my Special Adviser's work pattern. These discussions, which are not yet concluded, will include the salary to be paid under the proposed new arrangements.
