As my Department is primarily engaged in policy and regulatory functions, the breakdown of staff numbers is as follows: Administrative 24%; Management 75.25% and Elected Representatives 0.75%. The breakdown in terms of salaries for each of these categories is: €2 million paid to Administrative staff (12.5% of salaries expenditure); €13.8 million to Management staff (86.9%) and; €0.1 million to Elected Representatives (0.6%).

Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy. I will, however, request the relevant Agencies and bodies under the aegis of my Department to respond directly to the Deputy in the matter.
