1950. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the salaries and expenses paid to advisers, Ministers and-or Ministers of State in her Department in 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [19752/22]
View answerThe Department of Rural and Community Development was established on 19th July 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland.
I can confirm that the salaries and expenses paid to advisers, Ministers and/ or Ministers of State in my Department in 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022 are as set out below.
Please note that the Department of Rural and Community Development paid the salary and expenses of the previous Minister but currently does not pay my salary. As I also have responsibility for the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, that Department pays my ministerial salary and expenses. Please note that TD salaries are paid from the Oireachtas.
