Written Answers - Consultancy Contracts.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

540 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the number of consultancy contracts awarded by him or by the Ministers of State at his Department; their value and purpose; the costs in terms of salary or consultancy fees; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15047/97]

Since becoming Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, I have awarded two consultancy contracts. I have appointed a part-time consultant to advise me in relation to policy aspects relating to the work of my Department at an annual fee of £ 1,000. I have also appointed a press and media consultant at a fee of £ 500 per week and subject to a contract maximum cost of £ 3,000.

The Minister of State at my Department has awarded no consultancy contracts to date.
