One new staff appointment to my Department has taken place since March 2012. Ms Anne Kinneen was appointed as a temporary personal assistant to my colleague Minister of State, Ciarán Cannon, T.D. There were also two new assignments to my Department of existing civil/public servants since March 2012 as follows: Ms Mary Doyle, Deputy Secretary, from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and Mr. Tom Deegan, Principal Officer equivalent, redeployed to this Department on an initial secondment basis from the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) — Tipperary.
I can confirm that none of these three are retired public servants in receipt of a public service pension. The relevant salary scales or salary point in respect of each post are set out in the table:
