Question:

[25098/96]

As I have already informed the Deputy there is no Minister of State in my Department.

Information sought by the Deputy in relation to staff has already been provided in relation to Parliamentary Question No. 77 of 27 June 1995. The current annual salary of relevant staff at my Department is approximately £136,000.

The conference organisation services of Destination Ireland were engaged to organise the conferences in connection with the EU Presidency referred to in the reply to Parliamentary Question No. 63 of 2 October 1996.

I have already informed the Deputy of the position regarding consultancies in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 130 of 21 May 1996 and Parliamentary Question No. 21 of 11 June 1996. Ms Colgan was paid a further £9,000 this year.

No further expenditure to these consultants is anticipated for 1997.
