On 10th April 2017, the Board of the National Museum of Ireland forwarded a business case to my Department proposing a Civil Service Director level salary scale for the new Director, that is Principal Officer Higher grade with allowance. The then Minister approved this salary scale with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. The post of Director of the National Museum of Ireland was subsequently advertised and the incoming Director will be appointed on this scale. I am informed that, as of 1st January 2018, the incremental salary scale is €103,867, €107,520, €111,191, €114,854, €117,978, €121,268, €124,560.
