The Taoiseach: Some 210 staff are currently in receipt of salaries or wages from my Department. This figure includes staff currently working in my Department, some staff from my Department on secondment to other organisations and staff from my Department in receipt of payments under the incentivised career break scheme.
All pension payments for staff who retired from my Department are made by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and my Department does not make any such payments.
No other people or organisations are currently in receipt of remuneration from my Department on an ongoing basis.
My response to Parliamentary Question Number 162 (Ref: No. 28949/12) which was answered on 19 June 2012, provided details of the one-off grant payments made by my Department from 2009 to date.
