The answer to (a) is "Yes". As the particulars sought are in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate them with the Official Report.
As regards (b), the only such body for which I have a responsibility is Radio Telefís Éireann, and my functions in relation to that body do not extend to matters such as the employment of management consultants by it.
