In accordance with the Guidelines on the Staffing of Ministers' Offices, both of my advisors, James Kenny and Damien Garvey, were placed on the first point of the Principal Officer standard scale upon their appointment. Copies of both their contracts of employment and qualifications statements were laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and are available for inspection in the Dáil Library, again in accordance with the above Guidelines. For convenience, details in respect of date of appointment, educational qualifications and current salary are set out below.

As Mr. Kenny is in receipt of a public service pension of €38,735, the salary applicable to a person on the 3^rd point of the Principal Officer standard scale post implementation of the Haddington Road Agreement (€81,676) has been abated to €42,941 per annum in his case.
