I wish to advise the Deputy that there are three administrative staff employed by my Department working in my colleague Minister of State Shortall's constituency office, one of whom is a Personal Assistant and one of whom is a Personal Secretary. She does not avail of a civilian driver. The full year cost of these staff amounts to €125,841.97.
