View answerInformation relating to expenditure on various types of external services is published as a matter of course on my Department's website and can be found at the following link http://www.dttas.ie/corporate/publications/english/expenditure-external-services-2014 for the period to 31 December 2014. A 10% reduction in the annual spend on professional fees (based on 2014 outturn) would result in a saving to my Department of €6,397k.
