Written Answers. - Departmental Staff Emoluments.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

132 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the projected cost of salaries, allowances and other such payments for the offices of programme managers-special advisers-ministerial assistants and other such offices under his aegis as at January 1993; the outturn for the year ending 31 December 1993; the projected expenditure under this heading in 1994; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Enterprise and Employment (Mr. Quinn)

The information requested, which covers the offices of the Minister and the two Ministers of State is as follows:

1993 Projection	1993 Outturn	1994 Projection
£218,138	£238,082	£273,769

The higher than expected outturn in 1993 results from the recruitment of an additional head of staff during the year which was not provided for in the 1993 projection.
