I propose to take Questions Nos. 76 and 80 together.
Since March 2011 my Department engaged QTS Limited, to carry out an annual risk assessment and update the Department's 2011 Health & Safety Statement at a cost of €1,271. Procedures are in place in my Department for ensuring the expenditure undertaken on consultancy is necessary and that relevant guidelines are being followed.
