I propose to take Questions Nos. 275 to 278, inclusive, together.
Both the former Director of Creative Ireland Programme and the former event co-ordinator referred to in the question were seconded to my Department from Fáilte Ireland. They have since been seconded from Fáilte Ireland to the Department of An Taoiseach. This Department no longer covers the costs relating to these posts and any issues in relation to the term of the secondments are a matter between the Department of the Taoiseach and Fáilte Ireland.
My Department has advertised for the position of Director of the Creative Ireland Programme through the public Appointments Service and the recruitment process is ongoing. All other duties relating to the event co-ordinator are currently being managed within existing resources.
