162. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the WTE cost of recruiting three additional principal geologists for his Department. [22375/23]
View answerBased on the first point of the Principal Geologist PPC Scale the WTE cost for three additional posts at that grade would be €235,968 per annum.
However the actual cost would be governed by Circular 08/2019 - Starting Pay on promotion, and may be higher should those recruited have previous equivalent experience in the public sector.
