The Department of Rural and Community Developmentwas established on 19^thJuly 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland. 

I can confirm that the salaries and expenses paid to advisers, Ministers and/ or Ministers of State in my Department in 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022 are as set out below.

Please note that the Department of Rural and Community Development paid the salary and expenses of the previous Minister but currently does not pay my salary. As I also have responsibility for the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, that Department pays my ministerial salary and expenses. Please note that TD salaries are paid from the Oireachtas.
