*Salary paid by the Dept. of Education and Science – represents cost to this Dept.
**Does not include expenses which were paid by official credit card.
Bernard Allen
Question:
156
Mr. Allen
asked the
Taoiseach
the amount paid since July 1997 to date in 2002 in fees, salary, allowances, including delegates' allowances, expenses and other payments to any person including a body corporate or an unincorporated body of persons in or under the aegis of his Department who is or was a consultant or was a person performing functions normally performed or capable of being performed by permanent civil servants or special advisers, but who was neither a permanent civil servant nor a special adviser within the meaning of the Ethics in Public Office Act, 1995; the name of the person in each case; the amount paid to each person; the breakdown as between salary, allowances, expenses or other payments; the date on which each person was appointed; and, in the case of persons no longer holding such position, the date on which the appointment ceased.
[17276/02]
The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following table. I have included all relevant consultancy payments for the Department, although in some cases the functions may not have been capable of having been performed by permanent civil servants or advisers due to their specialist nature. I have not included funds which may have been expended under the change management fund which is administered by the Department of Finance.
