Written answers

Eight staff members have been redeployed to my Department since 27th March 2009, three of them on a temporary basis. Under the current redeployment arrangements, these staff retain the terms and conditions of employment as held by them in their original organisation until such time as legislation is brought forward by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to underpin such arrangements. All these redeployments were sanctioned by the Department of Finance and/ or the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. While there is an increase in salary costs to this Department due to some of the cases below, there is no increase in salary costs to the State.The attached table sets out the relevant details
