Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

What is the difference between a special political adviser and a programme manager in the Taoiseach's Department? What has been the cost of the five special political advisers engaged by the Taoiseach over the past couple of years? How frequently do the special political advisers sit down with the Taoiseach and report progress or otherwise on the implementation of the programme for Government? Are the meetings regular or do they occur now and again? Is there a set process in the Taoiseach's Department whereby the special political advisers come together to advise the Taoiseach?
