Question:181 Miss Flaherty asked the Minister for Education if any staff from her Department have been seconded to the Olympic Council of Ireland at any time over the past ten years; and if so, the cost of such secondment in each year.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 180 and 181 together. No member of the staff of my Department has ever been seconded to the Olympic Council of Ireland.
The information sought by the Deputy in relation to funding made by my Department to the Olympic Council of Ireland over the last ten years is shown in the following tabular statement.
