254. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide the details of average cuts in payments by his Department and those under its aegis to recruitment and temporary employment agencies, that is, the proportion of the fee paid from State funding to such agencies received by the worker and by the agency. [42704/14]
View answer255. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide an annual breakdown of the fees paid to recruitment and employment agencies by his Department and those under its aegis. [42717/14]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 254 and 255 together.
My Department does not engage the services of employment or recruitment agencies.
Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy. I will, however, request the relevant Agencies and bodies under the aegis of my Department to respond directly to the Deputy in the matter.
