97. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills 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. [39552/16]
View answerThe table contains details of the ministerial appointees at my Department, their grade and salary as provided for in accordance with the Guidelines for Ministerial Appointments as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
In addition to this I have included staff that are employed by the Houses of the Oireachtas and are assigned to the Minister of State and I. As my Department is not the direct employer I am not in a position to give their precise salary details. However, I have included the pay scales for the positions concerned.
