I propose to take Questions Nos. 481 and 481 together.
I can inform the Deputy that the average direct pay and non-pay cost of employing one main grade Educational Psychologist in the NEPS service is €76,000 per annum.
The number of NEPS psychologists employed currently stands at 225 whole-time equivalents across the NEPS regions and the annual pay cost of the 225 psychologists is the region of €20m.
