The accompanying table gives a breakdown of staff employed in my office, as requested by the Deputy. I should also point out that in the 1994 to 1997 Government, the then Minister for Agriculture and Food appointed both a special adviser and programme manager at principal officer level, the current salary scale for which is €75,036 to €92,813, as well as a personal secretary and personal assistant.
