• (c) Where the holder of a Ministerial Office or the holder of a Parliamentary Office would otherwise be entitled, as the case may be, to one parliamentary assistant full-time equivalent or to 2 parliamentary assistant full-time equivalents, then the holder of that Ministerial Office or Parliamentary Office may be afforded in substitution for that entitlement or, as the case may be, for either of those entitlements, secretarial facilities by way of one administrative assistant full-time equivalent.

• (4)
• (a) Without prejudice to any of the foregoing, this paragraph applies to a member of Dáil Éireann or of Seanad Éireann in each of the following cases subject to such conditions as the Commission directs:

• (i) where the Commission is satisfied that the provision of the further facility in question is warranted by reason of the member’s disability;

• (ii) where the member has been appointed by a Group as its co-ordinator.

• (b) The Commission may, upon the written application of that member, and with the consent of the Commission, provide the member with further secretarial facilities by way of employees—

• (i) up to and including one administrative assistant full-time equivalent if clause (i) of subparagraph (a) applies to that member,

• (ii) up to and including one administrative assistant full-time equivalent and one administrative assistant half-time equivalent if and so long as clause (ii) of subparagraph (a) applies to that member, and

• (iii) up to and including 2 administrative assistant full-time equivalents and one administrative assistant half-time equivalent if and so long as both clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (a) apply to that member.

• (5) This Regulation is intended to take effect in tandem with Regulation 9 of the Oireachtas (Allowances and Facilities) Regulations 2010 ( S.I. No. 84 of 2010 ) as amended by Regulation 8 of the Oireachtas (Allowances and Facilities) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 ( S.I. No. 149 of 2013 ) (in this paragraph together referred to as the “Regulations of 2010”) and any Regulations made in substitution for the Regulations of 2010, and, accordingly:

• (a) nothing in these Regulations, other than where expressly contemplated, is intended incidentally to have the effect of conferring on any person or of conferring in any instance an entitlement to the special secretarial allowance under the Regulations of 2010, and

• (b) where a member of either House of the Oireachtas who holds a Ministerial Office or a Parliamentary Office is entitled to secretarial facilities by way of employees, then such member may avail of that entitlement without prejudice to such member’s entitlement to avail of the special secretarial allowance except so far as paragraph (3)(b) applies,

• (c) but, in respect of any entitlement under this Regulation to which paragraph (3)(b) does not apply, this Regulation is not to be construed so as to enable any person mentioned in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph who chooses not to avail of that entitlement to avail of the special secretarial allowance in an amount greater than if the person had availed of the entitlement.

5.

• (2) A member of either House of the Oireachtas is, subject to any conditions as to certification of the placement or intended placement of the relevant child for adoption or otherwise as the Commission directs, during a period of 26 consecutive weeks commencing no later than the first anniversary of the date of placement of that child, entitled to standard secretarial facilities (temporary) consisting of one administrative assistant full-time equivalent.

• (3) The period of 26 consecutive weeks during which a member of either House of the Oireachtas may avail of standard secretarial facilities (temporary) as contemplated by paragraph (1) or (2) may commence on a date before the contemplated birth or placement for adoption, subject to the conditions mentioned in those paragraphs.

• (4) Where a person would, by reason of a birth or placement for adoption, have become entitled to standard secretarial facilities (temporary) by virtue of this Regulation but for such person not having been a member of either House of the Oireachtas at the date of that birth or placement and—

• (a) not later than the first anniversary of the date of that birth or placement the person becomes a member of either House,

• (b) not later than the first anniversary of the date of that birth or placement the person satisfies any condition with regard to certification of the birth or placement or any other condition as may be directed by the Commission, and

• (c) the first anniversary of the date of that birth or placement has not passed before the commencement of the period of 26 consecutive weeks during which the person wishes to avail of those standard secretarial facilities (temporary),

then the person, having so become a member of one of the Houses, is entitled to avail of those standard secretarial facilities (temporary) accordingly.

• (5) Subject to paragraph (6), nothing in this Regulation purports to confer an entitlement to standard secretarial facilities (temporary) on a person who ceases to be a member of either House of the Oireachtas, and every period referred to in this Regulation is subject to immediate cesser should the person availing of those facilities cease to be a member.

• (6) Where—

• (a) a member of Dáil Éireann or of Seanad Éireann had availed of standard secretarial facilities (temporary),

• (b) such member’s entitlement to avail of those facilities ceased because of, as the case may be, a dissolution of Dáil Éireann or the cessation of Seanad Éireann consequent on that dissolution, and

• (c) such member becomes a member of either House of the Oireachtas—

• (i) at the general election for Dáil Éireann consequent on that dissolution,

• (ii) at the general election for members of Seanad Éireann consequent on that dissolution, or

• (iii) by consenting to a nomination by the Taoiseach to be a member of the Seanad for which the general election referred to in clause (ii) was held,

then such member may within 4 weeks of becoming a member of the House in question commence availing of standard secretarial facilities (temporary) for a period of consecutive weeks equivalent to the difference between 26 weeks and the number of weeks during which such member had previously availed of those facilities, but should the facilities have been availed of for not more than 3 working days in the last of the latter number of weeks, that week is not to be counted in reckoning the difference.

• (7) The Commission may, for reasons of a humanitarian nature related to a birth or adoption or contemplated birth or adoption the subject of this Regulation, upon written application by or on behalf of a member of either House of the Oireachtas, and with the consent of the Commission, permit the member to avail of standard secretarial facilities (temporary) for a period not longer than 34 consecutive weeks in lieu of the 26 consecutive weeks referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2), and, if such permission is granted—

• (a) the reference to 26 consecutive weeks in paragraphs (3) and (4) and to 26 weeks in paragraph (6) is deemed to be a reference to the number of weeks encompassed in the extended period, and

• (b) paragraphs (3), (4), (5), and (6) of this Regulation apply to that extended period accordingly.

• (8) The Commission may for the purposes of this Regulation give directions about the grades and functions of personnel among the employees of the Commission who may—

• (a) receive certifications and other information and evidence for the purpose of this Regulation, and

• (b) take decisions on behalf of the Commission as contemplated by this Regulation or that may be necessary to give effect to entitlements conferred by it.
