None of my Advisers declared a conflict of interest in the past five years. My Department complies fully with the provisions of the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001 and annually lays my Advisers' statements of interests before the Houses of the Oireachtas and each individual sends their return to the Standards in Public Office Commission, in accordance with that legislation. This year, two such returns were made in accordance with the Ethics legislation, one for the calendar year 2006 and one following the General Election.
