I wish to advise the Deputy that the number of political staff in my Department is four. Below you will find a list of their roles and annual salaries.

I do not have a Personal Secretary.

The number of political staff and their salaries adhere to the guidelines issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the appointment of Ministerial staff.
