Written Answers. - Ministerial Staff.

Ivor Callely

Question:

69 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for the Environment the names and addresses of each of the non-established staff in his ministerial and constituency office; the name and address of each other person employed by him 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 his 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 he will make a statement on the matter. [10151/97]

Details of the names, titles and annual salaries of the non-established staff appointed to my office were set out in reply to Questions Nos. 97 of 15 February 1996, 199 of 26 March 1996, 113 of 19 December 1996, 77 of 13 March 1997 and 201 of 25 March 1997. The employment contracts of the persons concerned are not related in any way to previous State employment, if any. I consider that these persons are entitled to privacy in relation to their home addresses. None of them is related to me or any Government Minister. Any expenses paid to the persons concerned were necessarily incurred in the discharge of their official duties and amounted to a total of £11,778, £13,994, and £2,105 for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997, to date, respectively.

My personal secretary is employed in Wexford. The three other staff are based in my offices in Dublin.
