The current staffing of my Private Office and Constituency offices, and their salary ranges, is as follows:
| Private Office | Salary (as of May 2011 to date) |
| 1 Private Secretary | €43,816 - €55,415 + appropriate Private Secretary allowance |
| 3 Executive Officers | €30,516 - €47,975 |
| 2 Clerical Officers | €23,177 - €37,341 |
| 2 Special Advisors | €80,051 - €98,424 |
| Constituency Office | |
| 1.6 Clerical Officers | €23,177 - €37,341 |
| 1 Personal Assistant | €43,715 - €56,060 |
| 1 Personal Secretary | €23,820 - €47,755 |
The level of staffing in my offices for the same period in 2011 was slightly higher by 0.4 of a whole time equivalent at clerical officer level. I would remind the Deputy that this Government has reduced the number of staff in a Minister's Private Office from 10 to 8 and in a Minister's Constituency Office from 6 to 4 and that the staffing of my office complies with these guidelines.
No Minister of State maintains an office in my Department.
