Written answers

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department does not plan to engage staff from private sector accountancy and corporate law firms to work in the Department during the course of the upcoming EU Presidency. If additional support were to be required, it would be sourced through existing Civil and Public Service mechanisms in accordance with established procedures and relevant circulars.
