As of 1 January 2010, the salary paid to me by the Department of Foreign Affairs is €98,745.00. This figure does not include the salary paid to me by the Houses of the Oireachtas.

The accompanying table sets out the number and grades of staff in my Department whose salary scales are comparable to, or at a higher level than, my own.

Personal Pension Contribution (PPC) scales apply where officers were employed since 6 April 1995, pay the class A rate of PRSI and make a personal pension contribution. The figures given are effective 1 January 2010.

There are no State Agencies under the aegis of the Department of Foreign Affairs.

The table below sets out the cost of my combined T.D and Ministerial salary.

The salaries payable to the staff in my Department are set out in Department of Finance Circular 28/2009 which is available on the Department of Finance website. There is no member of staff in the Department on a salary equal to or higher than my combined salary.

In regard to the remuneration packages of Chief Executive Officers/Directors of the agencies under the aegis of my Department I refer the Deputy to question number 13630/10 dated 30 March 2010. As the Deputy will be aware Horse Racing Ireland and Bord na gCon, both of whom are listed in the reply, are no longer under the aegis of the Department.
