My Department was established in June 2007, the number of full time equivalent staff appointed by each Minister and Minister of State in my Department or constituency office and their relevant cost in each case from June 2007 to March 2011 is outlined in the Table below:

Number of Staff

Cost - €

Mr. Eamon Ryan TD,

Minister

Mr. Tony Killeen TD, Minister of State

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.

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.
