There are seven agencies reporting to my Department which are headed by a Chief Executive Officer (Courts Service, Equality Authority, Legal Aid Board, Private Security Authority, Property Registration Authority, Garda Síochána Complaints Board and the Human Rights Commission).
The post of CEO of the Human Rights Commission is currently vacant. The table sets out the salaries of the post holders of the other agencies. They are all members of the Civil Service Pension Scheme for established or non-established staff. In addition to these posts there are also a number of other full-time Civil Service Heads of Office in the Justice and Equality Sector. These posts which include for example, the Directors General of INIS and the Prison Service, the Equality Tribunal, Film Censor, State Pathologist and so forth, are either at Principal Officer or Assistant Secretary level with an additional allowance in some cases.
