I am taking the question to refer to those people appointed by me and by my Minister of State who were not already permanent civil servants, and who are paid for by voted Departmental moneys. The following people have been appointed to work with me:

NameGradeSalary Range Responsibility
Cathy HerbertSpecial Adviser€92,730 – €114,366To provide advice to the Minister as required
Marian QuinlanPersonal Secretary€23,181 – €44,726Constituency work for the Minister
Maura CosgrovePersonal Assistant€46,558 – €55,030Constituency work for the Minister

My Personal Secretary is based in my constituency office in Castleknock. My Special Advisor and my Personal Assistant are based in my Department's offices in Merrion Street.

None of the above is on city, county, town or borough councils; none is a member of any State boards.

I am advised by the Office of Public Works that the following people have been appointed to work with the Minister of State:

NameGradeSalary Range Responsibility
Lisa HalpinPersonal Assistant€46,558 – €55,030Constituency work for Minister of State
Gerardine FullerPersonal Secretary€30,566 – €50,410 Constituency work for Minister of State
Michael MaguireCivilian Driver€34,826Driving duties for Minister of State
Sean MooreCivilian Driver€34,826Driving duties for Minister of State

The Personal Assistant is based in the Minister of State's OPW office, and the Personal Secretary is located in the Minister of State's constituency office in Tipperary Town.

One Civilian Driver is a County Councillor.
