The following are the intended staffing arrangements and associated monthly salary costs by grade for my constituency office and those of Ministers of State O'Sullivan and Creighton. These arrangements are in line with the Government's decision of 15 March 2011 to reduce maximum permitted constituency office staffing levels for Ministers of the Government and Ministers of State. Clerical Officers are established Civil Servants. Personal Assistants and Personal Secretaries occupy non-established posts.
