Jim Higgins

Ceist:

217 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the number of people who are members of Fianna Fáil or the Labour Party appointed by him and the Minister(s) of State at his Department since assuming office; and the position held by each of these people in the relevant political party.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. J. Walsh)

The question of the political affiliation of the people appointed by myself and the Ministers of State at my Department since assuming office is a personal matter for the individuals concerned. I am not aware that any of these individuals hold an office in a political party.
