The additional salary requirements set out in my Department's 2009 estimates reflect the once off transfer of the Information Society and inclusion functions from the Department of the Taoiseach with the consequent increase in Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources staff numbers and a technical once off adjustment arising from the transfer of functions to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in 2007. The 2009 salary estimate also includes provision in respect of the 3% payroll cut required by Government.
