I can inform the Deputy that one member of staff in my Department has been provided with two phone lines at his home, being separate phone and fax lines and warranted by the communications needs of his duties.

Question 208: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount of money paid to the training officers in his Department in respect of travel and subsistence allowances; the number of training days organised; and if the relocation of CMOD to Tullamore has had an impact on the work of training officers or on the work of those who attend courses there.

In 2006 my Department paid €1,300 in respect of travel and subsistence to officers engaged in training staff. To date in 2007 the Department has had no expenditure on travel and subsistence for officers engaged in training staff.

In 2006 training courses were conducted on 142.5 days. To date in 2007 training courses have been conducted on 44 days.

The move of the Civil Service Training & Development Centre has had no impact on the work of the officers engaged in organising and facilitating training in my Department or on the work of the staff who attended courses in Tullamore.
