The information requested by the Deputy regarding staff employed in the Constituency Offices of the Government Chief Whip and Minister of State at my Department is detailed in the schedule as follows. The Constituency Office of the Minister of State for European Affairs is based in the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The Government Chief Whip, who is also the Minister of State at the Department of Defence has opted for convenience purposes to have no Constituency Office based in the Department of Defence, but instead has one Clerical Officer from that Department assigned to his Constituency Office in Government Buildings. This Clerical Officer is paid by the Department of Defence.
