As of 31 March 2014 there were 216.4 (whole time equivalent) local authority staff, or under 1% of the total local authority staff complement, on salary scales the maximum points of which are in excess of €100,000. The grades concerned are Chief Executives, Assistant Chief Executives and Directors of Service. Information regarding potential cost savings which could arise if these salaries were reduced is not available in my Department.
