Extensive and detailed information on the amount paid by my Department to each company contracted to provide direct provision accommodation every year up to and including 2013 can be found on the RIA website www.ria.gov.ie under the 'Contract Values 2000 - 2013 inclusive (January 2016)' section of the website.

The Deputy will appreciate that it is not appropriate to provide values for current contracts entered into by my Department. Negotiations take place with a number of commercial entities on an ongoing basis with a clear focus on achieving the best value for money in respect of each contract. It is not in the interests of yielding best value for the taxpayer that details of current individual contracts are made available to other commercial bodies who are, or may be in the future, engaged in these negotiations.
