Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

In response to the Deputy’s question there are seven organisations within the Public Expenditure Vote Group including the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Office of Public Works, Public Appointments Service, Ombudsman, Valuation Office, State Laboratory and the new Shared Services. Because of the way the information is compiled the initial earning brackets can only begin from zero to €20,000 and then from €20,000 to €40,000. The following table outlines the number of Civil and Public Servants under the remit of my Department at end March 2013 and their respective earnings.
