The total cost of professional fees incurred by my Department in 2015, and by the associated functions - the National Shared Services Office and the Office of Government Procurement- together with bodies under the aegis of my Department (excluding the Office of Public Works)*, amounted to some €8.1m. A 10% reduction in that level of spending would, therefore, give rise to an annual saving of €810,000.
* The Office of Public Works will respond directly to the Deputy on the matter.
