Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2012
530 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide the name, position and annual salary awarded to each of his special advisers; if he will provide details of any request made for an increase above the special adviser pay cap from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform; and the amount of the increase sought. [27889/12]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question, I have detailed below the Special Advisers that are employed in my Department. A salary increase was requested for one of the advisers based on the substantially higher salaries earned in the private sector and the particular compensation package earned prior to his appointment by the individual concerned. A single point salary of €110,000 per annum was approved by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
