As I previously indicated, the information requested by the Deputy is an administrative matter for each agency. The day to day management of agencies, including the payment of salaries and expenses, in accordance with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidelines, is a matter for the management of each agency. Accordingly, my Department does not maintain the level of detailed information requested as this information is held within each agency. Set out below for the Deputy's information is an extract of the quarterly returns made by my Department to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform which relates to numbers and salary bands in the agencies mentioned by the Deputy.
