For information I provide a similar question answered previously, on Tuesday, 22 May 2012, that provides information on work undertaken by consultants inm the period 2008 – 2011.
Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the total amount of expenditure on consultancy by his Department in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011; the numbers of consultants engaged by his Department in those years; the names of the consultancy companies awarded contracts; and the steps which have been taken to reduce the expenditure on consultancy and the reliance on consultants by his Department in these years and for the future. [25549/12]
Details of the information on consultancies requested by the Deputy for the period from 2008 to 2011 are set out in the following tables. My Department has, in line with Government policy, taken measures to reduce the level of expenditure on external consultancies. The number of consultancies undertaken has been significantly reduced and are undertaken on the basis of necessity and in instances where it is not possible to conduct the work in-house having regard to the nature of the work and the skills required.
