I propose to take Questions Nos. 151 and 157 together.

There are five Special Advisors in my Department and their salary details are set out in the table beneath. No salary increases have been requested by me or by the Ministers of State at my Department.

* Salary increase due to incremental progression in line with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidelines on remuneration for Special Advisers.
