A list of allowances paid to staff in my Department and the expenditure on each allowance for the year 2011 are shown in the tabular statement. As part of the review of allowances undertaken by my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, my Department submitted business cases in respect of four allowances that are specific to my Department. Allowances which are paid across the civil service were dealt with by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Details of these submissions, redacted in respect of confidential operational information, are available on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform website at www.per.gov.ie and go into Press Releases, Review of Public Service Allowances and Premium Payments, business cases and then into Social Protection.
