Since 09 March 2011, I have appointed Mr Mark Costigan as Press Adviser and Mr Sean Faughnan as Special Adviser, both on the Principal Officer (Standard) salary level which ranges from €80,051 to €92,672. Ms Maev-Ann Wren has been appointed as Special Adviser to Minister of State Shortall, on a half time basis and at 50% of the Principal Officer (Standard) scale.

A Government Order will shortly be sought regarding Mr Faughnan's and Ms Wren's appointments.
