I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 146 together.

The Department incurred expenditure of some €43,000 on recruitment advertising in 2006 and some 62,000 in 2007. This covered advertisements for Branch Managers who are employed on contract to operate Branch Offices in locations throughout the country; temporary clerical staff; Services Officers and medical assessors.
