There are currently ten Assistant Classifiers in the Irish Film Classification Office who were appointed in accordance with Section 2(1)(a) of the Censorship of Films (Amendment) Act 1992.

They are paid a per diem of €182 as well as travel and subsistence as appropriate. Total payments for the last four years are as follows:

Year
2005318,036
2006350,463
2007359,252
2008 (To date)332,741

My Department is currently examining proposals for radically revised working arrangements for the Assistant Classifiers which would greatly minimise the requirement for payment of travel and subsistence.
