Written answers

The attached tables show direct expenditure to archaeological firms in the periods requested by the Office of Public Works. The table does not include those cases where archaeological investigations were undertaken directly under the terms of some construction contracts. It is not possible to research this data in the time available. The Department of Finance did not incur expenditure for any archaeological works/surveys from its vote in the period in question.
