I propose to take Questions Nos. 62 and 63 together.

The names and salaries of the Special Advisers appointed to my Department are set out in the table below. The figure for Ms Jean O'Mahony includes a scale increment awarded on 10 March 2012 in line with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidelines relating to Special Advisers. No salary increase has been sought in respect of or awarded to any of the Special Advisers since they were appointed.
