Questions (50)

Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

50. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the disaggregation of salary scales or levels among agency workers within or through his Department. [20621/18]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Defence

My Department engages agency staff from time to time where in-house resources are not readily available. Payment for these services is made directly to the agency through whom the staff are engaged. The salary paid to the staff is therefore a matter between the agency and the individual and my Department is not party to the information sought by the Deputy.
