Will the Minister of State give some detail of the spend on consultancy services, value for money and policy reviews, the figure from last year and the projected spend this year?

For my own curiosity, the Minister of State might enlighten us on the size of the President's household staff complement. It is pure nosiness on my part and I am asking because I do not know and it caught my attention on the list.

I understand responsibility for Garda stations was transferred to the OPW last year. Will the Minister of State provide an update on the process for their prospective sale and the position on the return of stations for community use?

There is controversy - one of many - in Balbriggan about the library. There is a proposal to move the library to Gallen Mills to make way for the opening of an Intreo office. Has Fingal County Council been in touch with the OPW in that regard? Local people are agitated about the issue.
