Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The details requested by the Deputy regarding my Department can be found on my Department's website at the following link http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/english/expenditure-external-services. The awarding of contracts by agencies is a matter for the agencies themselves; I will forward your query to the agencies under the remit of my Department for direct reply to you.

Please contact my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
