I presume the Deputy is referring to appointments that are coterminous with my own term of office as Minister and those of the Ministers of State at my Department. Details of such appointments at my Department, including the role title and the salary scale in each case, are set out in the following tables.
For completeness, I would point out that both Ministers of State at my Department also hold Minister of State responsibilities at other Departments. In such cases, one of the Departments acts as the lead Department for the purposes of recording and accounting for the matters that are the subject of the Deputy's Question. As my Department is the lead Department in one case, details are provided below only in relation to one of my Department's two Ministers of State.
