I propose to take Questions Nos. 1067 to 1069, inclusive, together.

There have been no secondments of the types described by the Deputy since my Department was established in June 2011. My Department does not have a specific policy in relation to these matters but if it were to engage in any such secondments, it would do so in line with the norms set down by the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform.
