Question:

89 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education the names and addresses of each of the non-established staff in her ministerial and constituency office; the name and address of each other person employed by her and paid by the State, including unestablished officers and special advisers; the relationship, if any, of each aforementioned employee to the Minister and to each of her ministerial colleagues; the length of time in respect of which each such person has been employed by the State; the grade at which they entered the State's employment; the promotion, if any, which each has obtained since first becoming a State employee; the salary which each of them received at the commencement of their employment by the State; their current salary; the expenses, if any, they received in each calendar year since their employment commenced; the location of each of their places of employment; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10149/97]

I refer the Deputy in the first instance to my replies to previous questions on these and related matters: Question No.72 of 10 April, 1997 (Deputy M. O'Rourke); Question No.172 of 8 April, 1997 (Deputy Callely); Questions Nos.158, 242 and 286 of 25 March, 1997 (Deputy Callely); Questions Nos.94-95 of 13 March, 1997 (Deputy T. Nealon); Question No. 228 of 18 February, 1997 (Deputy Callely); Question No.143 of 19 December, 1997 (Deputy Callely); Question No.155 of 3 December, 1997 (Deputy Martin) and Questions No.162 (Deputy Callely) and No. 181 (Deputy D. Ahern) of 22 October, 1996.

These replies include details such as the names of the non-established staff in my private and constituency offices, their job-titles and their remuneration in 1996.

The following table lists the dates on which they commenced their employment in this Department, their starting salary as at date and their current salary.

None of the non-established staff in my private or constituency offices is related to myself or to any member of the Government. Mr. Patrick Keating was promoted to programme manager since his initial appointment.

The expenses paid to the aforementioned employees in each of the years since I took office are as follows: 1993: £3,417; 1994: £5,260; 1995: £8,355; 1996: £7,110 and 1997 (to date): £723.

All of the staff in question are based in the Department's Offices in Marlboro Street. I trust the Deputy will understand that it is not policy to give the home addresses of any member of staff.
