Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

The most recent circular listing out the salary scales of civil servants, Circular 19/2022, was published on 12 October and includes Secretary General salary scales and notes the amount of the highest rate paid to a Secretary General. My Department is considering further enhancing the information in the salary note for this year's appropriation accounts.

The OPW is entrusted with the care of the complex of five national monuments situated on the Rock of Cashel. I am encouraged to note there has been a strong recovery in visitor numbers to the Rock of Cashel post-pandemic.
