I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 to 13, inclusive, together.
The role of the Department is to assist me as Taoiseach and the Government to ensure a sustainable economy and a successful society, to pursue Ireland's interests abroad, to implement the Government's programme and to build a better future for Ireland and all its citizens.
Staff employed in the Department of the Taoiseach are aligned to existing Civil Service grades and paid on the appropriate pay scales, which are published on gov.ie .
The following table provides the salaries of the top ten highest paid civil servants in the Department of the Taoiseach.
