Question:

67 Mr. Quinn asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the member of the staff, if any, of her 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 she will make a statement on the matter. [17875/97]

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Miss Harney)

I am not aware of any member of the staff of my Department carrying out the type of activity described in the question. If the Deputy has any specific information which would concern any staff in my Department, I would, of course, have the matter investigated.
