Historically the Gaeltacht allowance is not been payable to the staff of my Department. However, nine staff who transferred to my Department from the HSE (Community Welfare Service), with effect from 1st October 2011, were in receipt of a Gaeltacht allowance. The terms and conditions under which the staff in question transferred provided for retention of the allowance on a personal basis. The rate of allowance payable equates to 7.5% of the basic salary of the individual officers. In the period from 1st October to 31st December 2011 expenditure on the allowance amounted to €12,462.
