Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 June 2017
208. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the expenses incurred by his Department relating to insurance of all types in each of the past five years; the cost of each insurance policy held by his Department over the same time period per annum; if he will provide the same data for all bodies under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26282/17]
View answerMy Department is a Designated State Authority under the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act, 2000 and subsequent orders and as such is covered by State Indemnity. My Department is not required to hold its own insurances and does not therefore have expenses over the last five years in that regard.
The information regarding the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. I will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisation.
