I propose to take Questions Nos. 67 to 69, inclusive, together.

Since my appointment as Minister for Finance on 9 March 2011, 19 staff members who were serving as Administrative Officers (AO) and Higher Executive Officers (HEO) have been awarded promotions through an internal competitive process to Assistant Principal level. 6 staff members, serving as Assistant Principals (AP) have been awarded promotions through an internal competitive process to Principal (PO) level. The current salary scales for civil service grades and grades common to two or more Departments are detailed in Circular 28/2009 (rates effective from 1 January 2010) which is available on www.circulars.gov.ie.

9 staff members serving as AO, HEO, AP and PO have been temporarily or permanently assigned to other Government Departments i.e. Department of Foreign Affairs, (serving in the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the European Union in Brussels), World Bank and Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. 11 staff members have been temporarily or permanently assigned to this Department from other Government Departments or agencies e.g. Revenue Commissioners, Oireachtas, Courts Service and the Central Statistics Office (CSO). In addition, another 6 staff members at Executive Officer (EO), AO, HEO and AP level have been temporarily assigned to this Department for the duration of the Irish Presidency. Sanction for filling these posts was received from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
