I refer the Deputy to my previous answer to Question No. 421, answered on 22 November 2005. The following tables provide the information requested by the Deputy as regards salary. The salary costs are based on current salary scales. The overall expenses, including overtime, incurred by my office over the past year — November 2004-05 — is approximately €160,000. This includes travel and subsistence costs for staff and all other associated office costs.
