I wish to advise the Deputy that the total amount spent by my Department on special advisors for the past four years was €757,052. This compares to €756,333 spent by my Department on special advisors in the four years 2007 to 2010.

I have 2 special advisors. In total there were 5 special advisors in the years 2011 to 2014, 2 from the previous Government and 1 of my special advisors left on a career break and was replaced.

There were 3 special advisors in the four years 2007 to 2010.
