Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 March 2009
402 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of limited companies with agreements for the provision of the full-time services of a single individual to him, his Department or to a public body under the aegis of his Department, indicating the nature of the services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12820/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department currently engages five single individuals on fixed contracts on a full time basis. Each of the five individuals is engaged in Information Technology projects within my Department. The question of the engagement of individuals of the type mentioned by the Deputy by Semi-State Bodies under the aegis of my Department is a day-to-day operational matter for each Body, and as such, I have no function in the matter.
