Information in respect of Civil Service grades is available from my Departments website . I would, in this regard, bring the Deputy’s attention to:

- Circular 28/2009 dated 22 December 2009 - Revisions of pay of Civil Servants: Application of pay adjustments in accordance with the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009 at and

- Circular 18/2010 dated 23 December 2010 - Reduction of 10% in the pay rates and fixed term allowances of persons to be recruited to certain direct entry grades to the Civil Service at .

I am arranging for copies of these circulars to be forwarded to the Deputy.

The Deputy is also advised that starting pay on recruitment from open competitions for all posts within the public service must be based on the minimum of the relevant salary scale.

Details in respect of particular Departmental grades and public service body grades may be obtained from each Government Department.
