The information requested in relation to my special advisors is set out as follows:
Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality
Post | Name | Salary |
---|---|---|
Special Advisor | Marion Mannion | €93,297 |
Special Advisor | Stephen O'Shea | €79,401 |
Special Advisor | Matthew Lynch | €79,401 |
Following my appointment as Tánaiste, sanction was sought and secured from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for an increase in the salary paid to one of my special advisors from €87,258 to €93,297.
This increase reflects the higher duties and responsibilities commensurate with the requirements of my combined roles as Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality.
