My Department currently has one person filling the role of Press Officer and she is employed on the Higher Executive Officer salary scale which runs from €46,081 to €58,294 per annum. I understand that the National Educational Welfare Board employs a Communications Manager which encompasses the role of Press Officer and this is again on the Higher Executive Officer salary scale. There are no specific press officer responsibilities assigned to individuals at the Family Support Agency, the Adoption Authority of Ireland or the Children's Detention Schools. I understand that the Office of the Ombudsman for Children will provide the information requested directly to the Deputy.
