Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Why was the programme manager for the Minister for Health and Children paid by the Department of the Taoiseach and given the increased remit of special adviser with responsibility for health and children? Why is that necessary given that the Taoiseach is reviewing pay levels within his Department?

What is the status of the communications unit? Does it remain within the Department and how many people work in it? Do they continue to circulate information to Ministers on a daily basis?
