Ivor Callely

Ceist:

115 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education if she will give a breakdown of the number of personnel in her Department and private firms contracted for public relations-media advice; the names and costs paid to private firms and consultants; the total cost incurred since her appointment; the total cost incurred by the Minister of State at her Department; if this expenditure went out for tender; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16349/95]

There are no personnel or private firms contracted by my Department for public relations-media advice. However, as I outlined in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 109 of 27 June 1995, a press offer is employed by my Department. Details relating to the press officer and consultants appointed by my Department since 16 December 1994 to date were supplied to Dáil Éireann in written replies on 27 June 1995 (No. 109), on 18 October 1995 (No. 96) and on 25 October 1995 (No. 65).
