182. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the names of and amount by which each programme manager-special adviser in his Department has exceeded the relevant pay guidelines as laid down; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54755/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn my capacity as Minister for Justice and Equality I have appointed two Special Advisors. They are both paid at the Principal Officer standard scale. I have made no requests for salary increases for either individual and the only changes to their salaries have been by way of normal incremental progression. The salaries of my Special Advisors are in accordance with the applicable pay scales as set down by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in June 2013.
