Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

No costs arise as salary increments for members of the Oireachtas were abolished under the provisions of section 2 of the Oireachtas (Allowances to Members) and Ministerial and Parliamentary Offices Act 2009 (No. 29 of 2009), effective from the commencement of the 31st Dáil / 24th Seanad in 2011.
