Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
163. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the gross annual salary costs for his private and constituency offices at present; the same figures for this time last year; the same figures for any Ministers of State in his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37527/12]
View answerDetails of the annualised salary costs of my private and constituency offices and those of the Ministers of State in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in September 2011 and September 2012 are set out in the following tables. The variations arose due to the payment of salary scale increments or because of approved minor adjustments in staffing levels.
