Minister for Finance (Mr. Quinn)

Details of the names and current salaries of the non-established civil servants working in my offices, all of whose place of employment is Dublin, are set out in my reply to Parliamentary Question No.81 of 25 March 1997. None of those named in that reply has any relationship to me or any other member of the Government.

It is not the practice of my Department to publicise the home addresses of civil servants. The respective dates of appointment, grade and salary of the non-established civil servants in my offices on entry into the State's employment are as follows:

Name	Date of Entry into the State's Employment	Grade on Entry into the State's Employment	Salary on Entry into the State's Employment
Ciaran O'Mara	5 July 1993	Special Adviser	£40,500
Brendan Lynch	19 December 1994	Special Adviser	£42,000
Denise Rogers	1 October 1977	Typist	Not Available
Gerry Ashe	30 January 1995	Personal Assistant	£9,865

Apart from those named above, there are no other persons employed by me and paid by the State.

The following expenses were paid, in accordance with normal Civil Service regulations, to those named above in the years 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 in respect of foreign and domestic travel:

Year	Amount

1994	Nil
1995	2,044.32
