asked the Minister for Finance the number of Deputy Secretaries and Assistant Secretaries of Departments who have personal assistants.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Departmental Personal Assistants.
33.
I presume the Deputy is referring to full-time personal assistants and on this basis the number is six.
Has the Minister got information as to the dates of the appointment of the six people concerned?
I have not that information. I imagine that what interests the Deputy is to know when these people were appointed. I know for certain that five of them were appointed before the present administration went into office.
