Vol. 454 No. 4
227 Mr. M. Smith asked the Minister for the Marine the names and remuneration, including hourly contract payments, of all special advisers, programme managers and consultants since public relations consultants were first employed by his Department. [10948/95]
No special advisers or programme managers have been appointed at the Department. However, a special adviser and a programme manager have been designated pending finalisation of a contract in each case. They are Ms Angela O'Donnell and Mr. Conor Barry, respectively. Since the formation of the Government no public relations consultants have been employed by my Department.
In the time available to me I have not been able to compile comprehensive information in relation to PR consultancies since their first engagement by my Department but I will do so and communicate with the Deputy.
