The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the table. My Department's financial database system does not break down between audit and non audit financial services so the figures supplied are for total amounts paid to these companies.
The figures prior to March 2011 do not include tourism and sport as these were functions of a different Department up to that point. Local roads only became a function of the Department of Transport in 2008 and hence figures for this area prior to 2008 are not included. Similarly, maritime transport only became a function of the Department of Transport in 2006, hence figures prior to 2006 do not include the maritime area.
