I propose to take Questions Nos. 200 and 201 together.

The following tables set out the names of contract staff employed by me and by the Ministers of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs, their functions and payscale and details of travel and subsistence expenses paid to them in 2004. All staff are contracted under terms and conditions of employment set by the Minister for Finance and are employed on a full-time basis. All appointments will terminate no later than the date on which the Minister concerned ceases to hold his current office.
