The amount of banking charges paid by my Department in 2011, along with an estimate for 2012, on bank accounts in Ireland and in overseas locations are set out in the table below:
Bank accounts are operated in a number of overseas locations to fund local expenditure on EU and UN missions and these attract the bulk of the total banking charges. The costs exclude bank charges in respect of the eight local purchase accounts. This information is held locally and is consequently not readily available.
There was €13 incurred in bank charges by Coiste an Asgard in 2011. This account has since been closed. Bank charges of €17 were incurred by the Office of the Ombudsman of the Defence Forces and a similar amount is estimated for 2012.
The Department operates eight bank accounts to fund our payments to suppliers, employees and pensioners. The agreement with the bank provides that transaction charges are not levied on the understanding that free credit balances will be held in the accounts for a minimum of 1 day.
Some 99% of payments to employees and 88% of payments to pensioners made by my Department are made electronically. All payments to suppliers made by my Department and agencies under my remit are made electronically, as are all employee expenses payments.
