Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

I am advised that, since its establishment on 2 June 2011, no contract was awarded by my Department to the company referred to by the Deputy, either singularly or as part of a joint bid or consortium.

With regard to agencies/bodies under the aegis of my Department, the Deputy will appreciate that the matters raised are part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies in question. I am arranging, therefore, for the terms of the Deputy's Question to be transmitted to the heads of relevant bodies with a request that they provide information, to the extent feasible, directly to the Deputy.
