Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 April 2011
419 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of retired public servants employed on short-term contracts by his Department and by all bodies under its aegis, and the total cost of that employment for all purposes, including interview boards, in the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010. [7190/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraFrom the period 1 January to 31 December 2010 my Department employed five retired public servants at a cost of €28,155.50.
With regard to agencies under the aegis of my Department this is a matter for the agencies themselves. I have, however, forwarded the Deputy's question to the various non-commercial state agencies under my Department's aegis. If the Deputy does not receive a reply from the agencies within ten working days, please advise my private office.
