I propose to take Questions Nos. 194 and 195 together.

In 2007 my Department held a competition to recruit Temporary Clerical Officers for assignment to the Department's offices in Athlone and Tullamore and to the State Examinations Commission in Athlone. The competition was advertised in local press in the midlands area and on a local radio station. The cost of advertising for the competition in 2007 was €9,862.14. There was no cost for recruitment advertising for my Department in 2006.
