I propose to take Questions Nos. 328 and 329 together.

In 2012 my Department spent €11.635m on the Department's School Inspectorate Division comprising of €10.64m on salary costs, €0.84m on travel and subsistence and €155,000 on training and development. The following tabular statement gives details of the current staffing cohort at the Inspectorate together with the payscales applicable from the 1st, January 2010. It also provides details of the grade structure and staffing numbers within the Schools Inspectorate Division at the Department of Education & Skills.
