Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
231. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of staff employed by him and each Minister of State, including parliamentary assistants, secretarial assistants, special advisers, press secretaries and other positions, in tabular form; the pay rate for each assistant and the total cost; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39548/16]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question the table gives a breakdown of positions.
Special Advisors and civilian drivers are paid by my Department but in line with the guidelines for Ministerial appointments for the 32nd Dáil other positions are paid by the Houses of the Oireachtas Service. Therefore my Department would not have salary information in relation to these staff.
