In response to the Deputy’s question, I have outlined below details of the salaries paid to the Special Advisors employed in my Department. A salary increase for one of my advisors which is marginally higher than the pay guidelines for such a position was approved by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. This request was based on the substantially higher salary which he was earning in the private sector prior to his appointment as Special Advisor.
Name | Title | Current Salary |
---|---|---|
Ross MacMathúna (from 16/01/2012 to date) | Special Advisor | €103,200 |
Aine Kilroy (from 18/4/2011 – to date) | Special Advisor | €81,676 |
