I propose to take Questions Nos. 44 and 51 to 53, inclusive, together.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that there is no more recent information available than that provided last November. To be helpful to the Deputy, I reprint that information here.
Range of Gross Income | Donegal | |
Fromâ'¬ | Toâ'¬ | Numbers |
- | 20,000 | 20,658 |
20,000 | 30,000 | 6,437 |
30,000 | 40,000 | 2,336 |
40,000 | 50,000 | 1,038 |
50,000 | 60,000 | 537 |
60,000 | 70,000 | 371 |
70,000 | 80,000 | 181 |
80,000 | 90,000 | 109 |
90,000 | 100,000 | 58 |
100,000 | 150,000 | 69 |
Over | 150,000 | 12 |
Total | 31,806 |
The data also includes various forms of income from public sources to groups that would not normally be regarded as being employed within the public service, e.g. those receiving fees, those on State Boards etc. On the basis of the available tax-based data it is not possible to identify and exclude income from public sources to groups that would not normally be regarded as employed within the public service or to distinguish the earnings of employees associated with atypical work patterns. Accordingly, it is likely that the number of lower paid public servants is overstated.
