202 Mr. Hilliard asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the reason for the £100,000 allocation under Subhead K of Vote 33; and the way in which this money will be spent in 1996. [19348/96]

209 Dr. Woods asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform if he has satisfied himself that public money spent on advertising in the divorce referendum represented good value for money in view of the precipitous decline in public support during the campaign for the passage of the referendum; and the plans, if any, he has to recoup the money in view of the Supreme Court judgment on the legality of partisan advertising. [1324/96]

210 Dr. Woods asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform whether he considers it proper that the identity of the owners of the firm to be awarded the advertising contract in the divorce referendum and its family connection to the Minister for Finance should be buried in a press release. [1325/96]

211 Dr. Woods asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the committees and personnel involved on the Government side in running the divorce referendum campaign. [1326/96]

212 Dr. Woods asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the reason the company that did not win the advertising contract in the divorce referendum campaign was not so informed. [1327/96]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 202, 209, 210, 211, 212 and 213 together.

I can tell the House that, having reviewed the circumstances surrounding the appointment of Quinn McDonnell Pattison, I am satisfied that the tendering process leading to QMP's appointment was properly conducted, and that those involved in recommending the appointment acted entirely honestly and properly throughout.
