In 2004, my Department implemented a new payroll system for the payment of Reserve Defence Force (RDF) personnel at a cost of almost €51,000. There have been no other new payroll implementations during the years in question.

The costs of maintaining, developing and upgrading all Departmental payroll systems (including hardware costs) during the years in question are given in the following table:

YearCost (rounded to nearest €000)
2008 (to 30 April)217,000
200746,000
2006133,000
200593,000
2004133,000

These payroll systems comprehend my Department's civil service staff, the staff of the Civil Defence Board, civilian employees, military personnel and military pensioners.

Coiste an Asgard incurred payroll-related costs of approximately €300 in each of the years in question.
