Costs in the above Table consist of salaries, employer’s PRSI, travel and subsistence and expenses. Costs for Minister Ryan and Ministers of State Power and Lenihan also include redundancy and severance payments to individual staff. Costs and staff numbers in respect of Minister Rabbitte reflect the revised arrangements for Ministers drivers.
As Ministers of State Killeen and Lenihan were assigned to more than one Department each appointed only one member of staff in my Department during their tenure.
