I wish to advise the Deputy that I have two Special Advisors on my staff.

The following table outlines by year the number of Special Advisors I have had and their annual salary for the years 2011-2015.

The salaries of my Special Advisors are in line with guidelines issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the appointment of Ministerial staff.
