The Minister of State at my Department currently has three staff employed in his Private Office, a Private Secretary and two Clerical Officers. There are four people employed in his Constituency Office, two Personal Secretaries (each work sharing 50%) a Personal Assistant and a Clerical Officer.

Ministers of State assigned to my Department during May 2009 to March 2011 did not operate a Constituency Office from my Department and therefore the costs are confined to the Private Office. The annual amount paid in respect of salaries which includes allowances, over-time and employers PRSI, to each office is outlined in the Table below:
