I propose to take Questions Nos. 730 and 731 together.

The gross annual salary payable to the grades identified in the question are set out in the table. The Secretary General's salary is €200,000 after the deduction of a voluntary waiver which he has made. Officers are entitled to claim delegates allowance for attendance at meetings abroad. The Aeronautical Officer posts attract a 24 hour/365 day on call allowance of €6,744 per annum. When pension levy, tax and other statutory deductions are taken into account, the net sum received by each individual does not exceed €100,000.
