The term of office for the new Director of Public Prosecutions will be ten years and is not renewable. The post will attract a salary of €190,000 which may be adjusted from time to time in line with Government pay policy. No bonuses or expenses are payable. Travel and subsistence will, where necessary, be paid under the rules and at the rates which apply in the civil service.

The pension entitlements of the new Director will be set out in a scheme to be made shortly by the Taoiseach, in consultation with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, in accordance with the Prosecutions of Offences Act 1974, and the scheme will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
