Notes:
1. Some of the established civil servants working in the Private Offices receive allowances in addition to their basic salaries in accordance with normal civil service rules, e.g. Private Secretary Allowance.
2. Where pay increases occurred for Personal Secretaries, Personal Assistants and Special Advisers, it was due to incremental progression in line with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidelines on remuneration for these grades.
3. The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Minister of State for European Affairs also have a number of staff who work in my Department but who are employed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
4. The Chief Whip's Private Secretary at the Department of Defence works in my Department but is employed by that Department.
