Vol. 541 No. 2
168 Mr. Durkan asked the Taoiseach the total amount of expenditure in the past 12 months paid to consultancy or public relations firms in respect of the promotion of the work of the Taoiseach or his Office; the number of persons engaged in public relations or consultancy work on a full-time basis and on a part-time basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20909/01]
The following schedule contains details of all consultancies employed by my Department and bodies under the aegis of my Department for the period 3 October 2000 until 2 October 2001. None of these related to the promotion of the work of the Taoiseach. In some cases, the engagements are ongoing. The cost is identified in each case where payments have been made.
