Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
187. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Taoiseach the number of immediate or extended family members employed by his Department; the names and remuneration in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2906/13]
View answerAs required under the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995, statements have been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas indicating whether the staff who were selected for appointments to my Department by me personally, other than by means of a competition, are relatives of mine. As such the information requested is already available for the Deputy's inspection. However, to be helpful to the Deputy on this occasion I wish to confirm that none of the staff employed by my Department are members of my family.
