Question:

92 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Defence the amount of funding for consultancy and related study contracts which has been approved as part of the 2002 departmental Estimates and the budgets of each organisation and agency falling within the Department's aegis for this type of work; the degree of cutback compared to 2001; the consultancy projects which have been cancelled or postponed as a consequence of the cutbacks; the capital projects which will be postponed as a consequence of the cutback in consultancy budgets; the consultancy projects under consideration with his Department and its agencies which will be funded in 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10927/02]

The funding for consultancy and related study contracts for the year 2002 is €2.98 million. Consultants with appropriate expertise are engaged by my Department predominantly to provide technical services in connection with building, engineering and equipment projects for the Defence Forces, as and when required. No projects have been postponed or cancelled.
