96 Mr. B. Ahern asked the Minister for the Environment the number and cost of special political advisers and programme managers from outside the permanent public service appointed at his Department. [10246/95]
I appointed a special adviser, who has recently resigned, and a programme manager at a salary in each case of £42,894 per annum from outside the permanent public service. The Ministers of State in my Department have not appointed special advisers from outside the permanent public service.
