Amharc ar fhreagra1479. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the number of Defence Forces personnel who are on the pay scale effective from 1 November 2013 which applied to existing staff on the 2010 pay scale; and the number who are on the 2011 pay scale for each of the years 2010 to 2016 in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20134/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1478 and 1479 together.
As there are various factors which would impact in providing the information requested in the manner sought by the Deputy, such as the numbers of recruits remaining in the Permanent Defence Force over that period once recruited, the levels of recruitment which varies over time, progressions through the payscales and promotions through the ranks, I am not in a position to provide the information in the format sought.
