Ceist:

106 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the consultancies, work groups and specialist groups employed for carrying out studies in his Department; when these groups were established; when their reports are expected and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5782/00]

The following are the details requested by the Deputy.

A total of ten consultancy assignments are currently under way for the development co-operation division. As the purpose of the assignments is to assist with the review and evaluation of existing projects and to plan, design and prepare new projects under the Ireland Aid programme, the reports are not published. However, a full list of consultancies is published in the Ireland Aid annual report entitled Ireland's Official Development Assistance. The 1998 report was published in June 1999 and copies are available on request.
