I propose to take Questions Nos. 1312 and 1313 together.

The following table shows a breakdown of the information requested.

In respect of Mr Sean Faughnan, a salary of €112,672 was initially sought, and this request was subsequently reduced to €92,672. A salary of €80,051 was approved by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in this case. Ms Maev-Ann Wren is engaged on a half time basis and this is reflected in her approved salary.

There have been no salary increases granted since the three individuals took up their positions.
