391 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Education and Science the member of the staff, if any, of his Department, above the rank of executive officer, contributing to or writing a weekly column of a political nature in a local newspaper, under a pseudonym; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17882/97]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin)

I am not aware of any member of staff of my Department, above the rank of executive officer, contributing to or writing a weekly column of a political nature in a local newspaper under a pseudonym. If the Deputy has any information on this he should forward it to me.
