Written answers

I understand that the Deputy has agreed to limit his question to those suppliers of services where expenditure exceeded €25,000 in any of the years in question. I refer to the table, which indicates the relevant suppliers, including the amount spent and the nature of the service procured. My Department complies with public procurement guidelines, and all of the services listed in the table would have been procured as a result of the relevant tendering procedures.
