Ms Louise Ní Chriodáin	Personal Secretary	Appointed on 10-03-97. Salary to be finalised

As regards consultancies, reviews and examinations commissioned by my Department, I refer the Deputy to my detailed reply to his Question of 5 March 1997 — Volume 475 No. 8, Cols. 1897-1906 — which contains the information requested.

All expenditure in respect of advertising and publicity is accounted for under Subhead A8 of my Department's Vote. The record of this expenditure for 1995, 1996 and 1997, to date, shows the following breakdown:

	1995	1996	1997 (to-date)
Total Paid (£'000)	107	114	30

A separate classification for public relations is not maintained. Most of the expenditure is in respect of statutory and public information requirements and, as the amount in respect of public relations would be minimal, I consider that the time and cost involved to ascertain that amount would not be justified.
