In my capacity as Minister for Justice and Equality, I have appointed three Special Advisors as follows: Marion Mannion, Niamh Connolly and William Lavellle. Ms. Connolly and Mr. Lavelle work on a half time basis each. Each is paid at the Principal Officer standard scale on a pro-rata basis to a full time officer where appropriate. At the time of their appointments, the salary scale was €75,647 - €92,550. I have made no requests for salary increases for any of the three individuals concerned. The salaries of my Special Advisors are in accordance with the applicable pay scales as set down by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in June 2013.
