Simon Harris

Ceist:

287. Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide detail, in tabular form, any exemptions granted by his Department or any agency under his remit to the long-standing general principle of pay policy that the payment of additional remuneration to public servants for undertaking additional duties is not permitted; the additional remuneration involved in each case; the date of sanction for such additional remuneration; the rationale behind such sanction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55037/13]

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Whilst remuneration of staff of my Department and under my remit is conducted in line with Government policy and the appropriate instructions from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, in view of the significant period of time for which the Deputy has sought information, I must advise that it is not possible to provide a detailed response within the deadline and a follow-up response will therefore issue to the Deputy as soon as the information is available.
