Ceist:

52 Mr. D. Ahern asked the Taoiseach the name and status of the non-established staff, including programme managers and advisors employed in a temporary, part-time or permanent capacity who have been supplied with mobile telephones and fax machines for their home residences since the commencement of this Government; the estimated cost in each individual case; the total estimated cost to his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6454/96]

The information requested by the Deputy is outlined in the following table. The costs include the running costs to date and any capital costs incurred by my Department in supplying the equipment. Capital costs for equipment were not incurred in respect of all individuals as some mobile phones and fax machines were available in the Department from the previous administration.
