Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2005
362 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the names, titles, dates of appointment, total annual salary including pension contributions of each of the special or political advisers, personal assistants or personal secretaries appointed by him; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22544/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe following table sets out the names of the contract staff in question, their dates of appointment, functions, payscales and pension contribution arrangements. All staff are contracted under terms and conditions of employment set by the Minister for Finance and are employed on a full-time basis. All appointments will terminate no later than the date on which I cease to hold this office. This compares favourably with my rainbow Government predecessor who had more than twice the number of advisers during his tenure as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tánaiste.
