I propose to take Questions Nos. 506, 526 and 527 together.
The numbers of persons in receipt of salaries in excess of €100,000 in local authorities (at 30 June 2011) on a whole time equivalent basis (WTE) was two hundred and nineteen. Information regarding potential cost savings which could arise if these salaries were reduced is not available in my Department.
Question No. 507 answered with Question No. 470.
