Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Day-to-day operations in agencies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for management in each agency. Accordingly, the information requested is not available in my Department. A detailed breakdown of expenditure by each agency is contained in their respective annual reports, the latest versions of which are available in the Library of the Houses of the Oireachtas.
