Adjustments to pay in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Haddington Road Agreement were implemented from 1 July 2013. The table outlines the salary details of the two Special Advisors appointed by me as Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation in line with the Guidelines for Ministerial Appointments and as sanctioned by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
