Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
850. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of annual subscriptions to external membership bodies and groups his Department has, including the cost and details. [46744/15]
View answerExpenditure by my Department in respect of external membership of bodies and groups in 2015 other than subscriptions to certain international bodies and Conventions such as bodies under the auspices of the United Nations is outlined in the tables below.
Fees to professional bodies are reimbursed in certain circumstances such as where there is a legal requirement for a staff member to be registered with a professional body (e.g. in order to maintain his/her qualifications) or where membership of the body enables the staff member to keep abreast of developments in a particularly relevant area of his/her profession.
Access to papers, training and development that accrues to my Department as a consequence of the membership of the range of relevant professional bodies represents considerable value for money in maintaining professional expertise and competency in key business areas.
