I would like to advise the Deputy that there are no staff in the core Department of Public Expenditure and Reform suspended from work on full pay.

My Department also includes the National Shared Services Office and the Office of Government Procurement.  There are no staff suspended on full pay from the National Shared Services Office. There is currently one Office of Government Procurement officer on suspension with pay.  As this process is ongoing, I am not in a position to provide further information at this point in time.
