Ceist:

87 Mr. J. Higgins asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade the total number of civil servants in his Department; and the number who have worked in the business or commercial sphere before entering or starting their period of employment in the public service.

Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. McCreevy)

The total number of civil servants serving in my Department is 103. Details of any previous employment are not kept in my Department and I cannot therefore answer this part of the Deputy's question.
