Written answers

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Pat Rabbitte)

My Department paid €23,343 ex VAT in annual licensing costs of Corepay system in 2010. Earlier this year however, my Department entered into a shared services agreement with the Department of Finance which now hosts payroll facilities on the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resource's behalf.
