Question:

Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide in a tabular form a list of all professional fees for his Department, including but not limited to legal, consultancy, IT-related, advisory, advertising and accountancy; and the company name and amount invoiced between 1 June 2013 and 31 May 2014.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 375 and 376 together.

The table details the companies who were paid in excess of €20,000 for professional services during the period 1 June 2013 to 31 May 2014. A reduction of 20% in professional fees would equate to a saving of €2.85m for the period in question.

In line with the Programme for Government, my Department publishes on its website details of payments for goods and services valued at more than €20,000 on an annual basis. This threshold has been used in the answer to this Parliamentary Question to be consistent with the Programme for Government commitment.
