On the commencement of every Dáil, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform issues guidelines setting out the arrangements for the staffing of Ministerial Offices. The Guidelines for the 33rd Dáil are currently awaiting Government approval.

At this stage no Special Advisers have been formally appointed by the Government. This process will start once the Guidelines have been approved by Government and details of the appointments will be published on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's website, in due course.
