There are six staff assigned to the communications unit and it estimated the total cost of the unit for 2004 is €314,402. Of this, €120,428 is a direct cost to my Department with on average €38,795 being borne by the five other Departments who have staff seconded to the unit.

I will make a statement on this matter when responding to a similar question that has been put down for oral reply.
