[27455/17]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy could not be compiled in the time available. I will write to the Deputy directly when the information is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 783 for answer on 20 June 2017, in which you requested information on contracts awarded to Accenture by my Department or bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department each year since March 2011, including the cost per contract and the basis for each contract.
As you will recall, the information you requested could not be obtained in the time available, and the then Minister undertook to contact you again.
Information regarding contracts entered into by my Department with Accenture, during the period in question, which relate to the development and support of the Financial Management System in the Department's Financial Shared Service Centre, is provided in Appendix A. In addition to the Department of Justice and Equality, the Financial Shared Services Centre supports a number of client organisations both within and external to the Justice Sector, namely, Department of An Taoiseach, An GardaSíochána, the Irish Prison Service, Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Department of Community and Rural Affairs, the Courts Service, the Property Registration Authority, the National Museum of Ireland and the Policing Authority.
Separately, the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department contributes to the support and maintenance costs arising from certain contracts with Accenture awarded by An Garda Síochána.
I am informed that the Criminal Assets Bureau awarded no contracts to Accenture in the period in question. With regard to no other bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department, including An Garda Síochána, and in line with D/Per Circular 25/2016 and the Protocol for the Provision of Information to Members of the Oireachtas by State Bodies under the Aegis of Government Departments, I have requested that the information be provided directly to the Deputy.
I hope this information is of assistance.Appendix A – Contracts awarded to Accenture
