The following table sets out the number of personnel in my constituency office, their grades and remuneration:
| Constituency Office | ||
| Grade / Position | Number | Remuneration |
| Personal Assistant (non-established; based in Constituency) | 1 | Higher Executive Officer Standard Scale €43,445–€55, 147 |
| Executive Officer | 1 | Executive Officer Standard Scale — PPC €30,027–€47,641 |
| Clerical Officer (based in Constituency) | 1 | Clerical Officer Higher scale €22,633–€35,830 |
| Clerical Officer (including one who job shares) | 2 | Clerical Officer Standard Scale — PPC €22,766–€36,913 |
| Total | 5 |
The employment contract of the non-established officer referred to in the table is coterminous with my appointment as Minister for Foreign Affairs. Overtime, travel and subsistence expenses are paid in accordance with normal civil service regulations. Personal Pension Contribution (PPC) scales apply where officers were employed since 6 April 1995, pay class A rate of PRSI and make a personal pension contribution.
