Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 February 2005
79 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the instances within his Department in which contracts have been awarded as a matter of extreme urgency, without regard to the normal tendering process, since 1997; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3930/05]
View answerMy Department has over 3,700 suppliers of goods and services. It would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work to examine the files relating to all contracts held with those suppliers since 1997 and compile the details referred to in the question. If the Deputy wishes to indicate a particular more limited area of interest, it may be possible to provide the information sought.
