Average Salaries in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment
From a written answer in the Dáil on March 2nd. (Averages calculated by yours truly):
| Agency | Current Number of Staff | 2010 Pay Budget | Average per staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Competition Authority | 42.2 | €3.614m | €85,640 |
| National Consumer Agency | 44.4 | €3.646m | €82,117 |
| IAASA | 12 | €1.243m | €103,583 |
| Science Foundation Ireland | 53 | €4.723 m | €89,113 |
| Personal Injuries Assessment Board | 74 | €5,695m | €76,959 |
| FÁS | 2055.4 | €112.33 m | €54,651 |
| Labour Relations Commission | 46 | €4.011m | €87,196 |
| Health and Safety Authority | 192.3 | €13.504m | €70,224 |
| NERA | 116 | 7.94m in 2009 comprising €6.55m in pay and €1.39m non-pay | €68,448 (€56,466 and €11,983) |
If you were to be fair the cost of employing someone (employers PRSI, up-yer-bum levies, etc) account for about 10% of the average per staff member) but the averages are pretty bewildering.
For example, FÁS (which employs LOTS of clerical staff) still manages an average salary of almost €50k, so are they:
- overpaid
- highly skilled
- management heavy
Compare this to the average per staff in a company in the private sector who doesn’t get within an asses roar of that!
Pretty sweet huh? Even with your pension and pay levies!
Wankers!

@Alan:
That one caught me out too: the Irish Auditing & Accounting
Supervisory Authority (http://www.iaasa.ie)
In case you want to get in, here is the current organisational structure (from their web site)
Lots of chiefs, but there might be an opening as an indian.
I note that the 12 staff referred to in the table doesn’t include the board members as staff. I wonder if they are remunerated…?
