For the years 2002 to 2006, inclusive, none of the Special Advisers, attached to either myself or the Ministers of State at my Department, declared a conflict of interest. The most recent information held by my Department relates to the year ended 31 December, 2006. Special Advisers are required under the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001 to declare any conflict of interest by end of January each year in respect of the previous year ending 31 December.
