In terms of valid invoices for goods or services received which have not yet been approved and/or sent forward for payment, it is estimated that the amount of money currently owed to private firms by my Department is €14,462. The Department makes every effort to observe both the provisions of the Prompt Payment of Accounts Act 1997 and a Government decision of May 2009 mandating a fifteen-day timeframe for payment.
