Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 December 2015
140. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the number of contract outsourced staff employed at the Central Bank of Ireland, the roles they perform and their daily salaries, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45958/15]
View answerThe Central Bank has informed me that it currently has 65 contractors engaged. For commercial reasons it is not possible to disclose individual daily rates, however the average daily rate paid to these contractors is €478 (excluding VAT). The number of contractors varies from time to time and is determined by the business needs of the Bank.
The daily rate paid is determined by the role performed. These roles vary from temporary roles such as the provision of maternity leave cover to the engagement of specialists. These contractors are engaged via the completion of competitive tender processes.
These numbers include a significant number of IT resources and reflects the current number of IT projects underway and also the dynamics of the IT market place.
