View answerThe information sought by the Deputy in regard to state bodies under the aegis of my Department is not routinely collated by my Department.
Officials are making enquiries with its aegis bodies and will supply the information sought by the Deputy as soon as possible.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 130 (23464/17) of the 17th May 2017 in which you sought details of the sums spent by State Bodies under the aegis of my Department renting car parking spaces in each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017.
Inquiries have been made with the bodies under the aegis of my Department who advise in many cases that car parking facilities are provided as part of the supply of premises and ancillary facilities to State Bodies. However, I am advised that payments, for for car parking spaces, were made by four bodies within the timeframe specified.
The table identifies the expenditure incurred by the four respective bodies within the timeframe specified.
