There is one employee of my Department, at Principal Officer (PO) level, paid by my Department, who is seconded to Caranua (Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board), an aegis body of the Department of Education. This officer is employed as a temporary resource to facilitate the orderly winding down of Caranua.

There are no other Department of Education officials on secondment to organisations in the wider public, private or semi-private sectors whose costs are being met from the Department’s payroll. Please note that for administrative purposes, Department officials on secondment to outside organisations may continue to be paid through the Department’s payroll arrangements with the National Shared Services Office (NSSO) but the salary costs are then recouped to the Department of Education. 

* Paid in accordance with the standard PPC - Personal Pension Contribution Pay Scale for POs in the civil service (€91,609 €95,496 €99,354 €103,240 €106,518 €109,917¹ €113,313²).
