Vol. 379 No. 7

Written Answers. - Environmental Research Unit.

42.

asked the Minister for the Environment the cost incurred in setting up the Environmental research unit; the number of people employed; the salaries involved; if this unit is independent of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

No costs have yet been incurred in setting up the environmental research unit. It is intended that the number of employees necessary to enable the unit to perform its functions will be drawn from the staff of An Foras Forbartha and arrangements for this are being finalised with the unions concerned. The establishment order provides that the business of the unit will be conducted by a management committee appointed by me.
