This Department did not exist in its current form in 1997. The Department's energy and communications divisions were attached to the Department of Public Enterprise. The Department's natural resources divisions were attached to the Department of the Marine. The records available indicate that the total spent on training in the Department of the Marine and Natural Resources in 1997 was IR£41,623.53. It is not possible, based on the records available, to determine what amount of this expenditure related to leadership training.
