43 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 65 of 5 October 2011, if he will arrange for the outstanding information to be supplied to this Deputy; and in view of the need for the utmost transparency and accountability, if he is satisfied at the refusal of the bank to provide any financial information on the arrangements in place with contractors. [32429/11]
View answerThe outstanding information to be supplied to the Deputy further to Parliamentary Question No. 65 of 5 October 2011 was issued on 28 October 2011. In relation to the provision of financial information on the arrangements in place with contractors the bank has informed me that i) it is legally obliged to comply with its obligations under the Data Protection Acts in relation to the names of individual contractors, and (ii) services are contracted on an individual basis and are therefore commercially sensitive.
