The gross Exchequer pay bill allocation for 2010 is €16.045 billion. The gross Exchequer pensions bill allocation for 2010 is €2.774 billion. In net terms, the respective figures are €15.092 billion and €2.237 billion. Full details are available in the Revised Estimate Volume for 2010.
The Deputy should also be aware that there are some civil and public servants whose employment costs are not met directly from Voted Exchequer expenditure. The largest single category to which this applies is Local Authority staff with the remainder mainly occurring in Non-Commercial Semi-State Bodies such as regulators. Information on the employment costs in these areas may be obtained from the relevant Minister in each case or from the bodies themselves.
