The table contains details of the ministerial appointees at my Department, their grade and salary as provided for in accordance with the Guidelines for Ministerial Appointments as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

In addition to this I have included staff that are employed by the Houses of the Oireachtas and are assigned to the Minister of State and I. As my Department is not the direct employer I am not in a position to give their precise salary details. However, I have included the pay scales for the positions concerned.
