Ivor Callely

Question:

44 Mr. Callely asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the total cost to the Exchequer in 1995 arising from the engagement, by him and his Department, of public relations companies; if he will give a breakdown of this cost; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10474/96]

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Spring)

I refer the Deputy to the replies I gave to Questions No. 88 on 8 November 1995 and No. 59 on 13 December 1995. There has been no change in the position since then.
