My Department currently engages five single individuals on fixed contracts on a full time basis. Each of the five individuals are engaged in Information Technology projects within my Department. The question of the engagement of individuals of the type mentioned by the Deputy by Semi-State Bodies under the aegis of my Department is a day-to-day operational matter for each Body, and as such, I have no function in the matter.
