The Department of Defence includes civil servants, military personnel and civilian employees. None of these staff are employed on a salary of €200,000 or above. Two individuals, the Secretary General and Chief of Staff, receive annual salaries in the €150,000 to €200,000 band.

There are 14 members of staff in receipt of salaries in the €100,000 to €150,000 band: 4 civil servants, 10 members of the Defence Forces. The Ombudsman for the Defence Forces is also in this category.
