The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table. I should also point out that in the 1994 – 1997 Government the then Minister appointed both a Special Adviser and Programme Manager at Principal Officer level, the current salary scale which is €82,016-€101,446 as well as a Personal Secretary and Personal Assistant. In addition a Public Relations Consultancy was also used during that period.
