My salary costs are as follows:
| Salary Costs | |
| Ministerial Salary | â¬98,745 |
| T.D's Salary | â¬92,672 |
| Total | â¬191,417 |
In relation to transport, I have the use of a ministerial car that is driven by members of An Garda Siochána. The costs in relation to the operation of this car are not borne by the Department.
The Secretary General of my Department is paid a salary of â¬188, 640 and the Chief of Staff is paid a salary of â¬179,658. The Chief of Staff is provided with an official car and military driver for official duty purposes.
No other staff in the Department, the Permanent Defence Forces or the State agencies under the aegis of the Department are in receipt of a comparable or higher remuneration package.
