Pay policy in the Public Sector is determined centrally by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Due to the multiplicity of grades streams recruited by my Department since 2011 and the large number of variables associated with each recruitment, it is not possible to provide the detailed costings requested by the Deputy at this time. However, 156 staff have been recruited to my Department since 2011 with a salary cost of €6.1 million annually.
