Vol. 310 No. 9

Written Answers. - Secretarial Assistance for Oireachtas Members.

220.

asked the Minister for the Public Service the per capita contribution per secretarial assistant to Members of the Oireachtas; if he considers this sum to be an appropriate and adequate salary for secretarial assistants.

Payments to political parties and independent Deputies in respect of secretarial assistants is based on the following weekly pay scale:

£43.78 — 45.45 — 46.42 — 47.47 — 48.55 — 49.67 — 50.76 — 51.87 — 52.96 — 54.10 — 55.24 — 57.19 — 59.21.

This is the same scale as applies to clerical assistants employed in the civil service. The pay of the clerical assistant grade is negotiated through the agreed procedures of the civil service conciliation and arbitration scheme.
