Based on the first point of the Principal Geologist PPC Scale the WTE cost for three additional posts at that grade would be €235,968 per annum.

However the actual cost would be governed by Circular 08/2019 - Starting Pay on promotion, and may be higher should those recruited have previous equivalent experience in the public sector.
