103. To ask the Taoiseach if any of his special advisers, personal assistants or personal secretaries and other unestablished civil servants, whose contracts were coterminous with his holding the office of Taoiseach, that ceased employment on 6 May 2016 on the election of a new Government, were afforded two weeks' pay in lieu of notice.

No staff members whose contracts were coterminous with me as holder of the office of Taoiseach ceased employment on 6 May 2016.

However, my Department did pay two weeks salary in lieu of notice to two members of staff in 2016:

- a civilian driver whose contract was coterminous with the Leader of the Seanad; and

- the Deputy Government Press Secretary whose contract was coterminous with the then Tánaiste.
