One new staff appointment to my Department has taken place since March 2012. Ms Anne Kinneen was appointed as a temporary personal assistant to my colleague Minister of State, Ciarán Cannon, T.D. There were also two new assignments to my Department of existing civil/public servants since March 2012 as follows: - Ms Mary Doyle, Deputy Secretary, from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs - Mr Tom Deegan, Principal Officer equivalent, redeployed to this Department on an initial secondment basis from the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) - Tipperary.

I can confirm that none of these three are retired public servants in receipt of a public service pension. The relevant salary scales or salary point in respect of each post are set out in the table.
