The table give details of the ministerial appointments made at my Department to assist the Ministers of State and I in carrying out our duties.
They are non-established Civil Servants and as such they are subject to the terms of the Civil Service code of conduct and this is stated in their contracts of employment. Section 5 of the code addresses the matter of Civil Servants and politics and my Department does not have separate guidelines in relation to party political fundraising. However, the appointees concerned are subject to the terms of the Ethics in Public Offices Acts.
Under the terms of the said Acts a copy of their respective contracts of employment were laid before the Oireachtas. In relation to the special advisers, details of their qualifications were also laid and these documents can be viewed by the Deputy.
Mr. Richard Bruton, T.D. - Minister for Education and Skills
