312. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the external consultant reports commissioned by her Department since March 2011; the costs per report; the company involved; the title of the report; and the publication date, in tabular form. [54253/17]
View answerThe names of external reports commissioned by my Department and Offices of my Department, the costs, the date or expected date of publication and the name of the external consultants are available at the link below for the years 2011-2017. In some cases, the costs of the reports were shared with other bodies and these are noted in the table.
The data in respect of 2014 includes research and analysis which was commissioned by Forfás prior to the date of its integration into my Department in August 2014, and for which my Department held the 2014 budget. This research and analysis has subsequently been carried out in the Strategic Policy Division in my Department.
