In June 2002 following the establishment of my Department I appointed a Special Adviser, Mr. Tony Cotter, a Personal Assistant, Mr. Colin Miller and a Secretarial Assistant, Ms Mary O'Connell. I am in the process of appointing a new Special Adviser to replace Mr. Cotter, who has recently transferred to another Department. These appointments were made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Public Service Management Act 1997 and Department of Finance guidelines on such matters.
