Mr. Brian Murphy is my Special Adviser.  His salary is € 99,370.  This was granted on an exceptional basis as provided for in the government decision on salary scales for special advisors, as he came from a position in the private sector in which he was considerably better paid than now.

Mr. Nick Miller is my Press Adviser.  His salary is € 84,706.

As the Deputy is aware, both Advisers had their pay cut last year as part of the Haddington Road Agreement.
