asked the Minister for the Environment the number of staff taken on in his Department on a contract or consultancy basis from 1 January 1987 to date.
Written Answers. - Contract or Consultancy Staff.
147.
Sixty four staff were taken on by my Department on a contract basis after January 1987. This does not include those staff — temporary inspectors and temporary clerical trainees — taken on earlier and whose contracts expired after 1 January 1987. There are no such staff currently engaged by my Department.
