Ceist:

1591 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the amount paid since July 1997 to date in 2002 in fees, salary, allowances including delegates' allowances, expenses and other payments to any person in or under the aegis of his Department who is or was a special adviser within the meaning of the Ethics in Public Office Act, 1995; the name of the person in each case; the amount paid to each person; the breakdown as between salary, allowances, expenses and other payments; the date on which each person was appointed; if, in the case of persons no longer holding such position, the date on which the appointment ceased [17273/02]

Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Cullen):

The Department's current payroll system was introduced in July 1999 and because it altered the manner in which salaries and allowances are captured, it would be very difficult and extremely time consuming to produce consistent and comparable data of the type sought for the period July 1997 to date.

Such information as is readily available is set out in the following table:
