Written answers

The Deputy may wish to note that there are two people assigned to work with me as Special Advisers and they have been formally appointed by the Government. As the Deputy will be aware the Minister of State does not have a special adviser.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform must be notified of the rate of salary to be paid in all cases for Special Advisers and this has been done. The salary paid to these individuals is set out in the table below, with the relevant pension scheme.
