Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter)

I can inform the Deputy that no State Agencies or organisations within my Department's remit are currently paid up members of the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC).

While the National Disability Authority (NDA) was a member of IBEC, membership was terminated with effect from 2010. The following amounts were paid by the NDA to IBEC for the years 2007-2009:

January 2007 — €1,505.93;

January 2008 — €1,719.00;

January 2009 — €1,642.60.
