Neither my Department nor the offices under its aegis (The Office of the Revenue Commissioners; The Office of Public Works; The State Laboratory; The Valuation Office; The Public Appointments Service; and The Office of the Commission for Pubic Service Appointments) employed consultants or lobbyists to act on their behalf outside the State in the past five years. I am also informed by The Office of the Ombudsman and The Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General that neither of those offices employed consultants or lobbyists to act on their behalf outside the State in the past five years.
