Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2218. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the expenditure incurred in external information technology costs in each year since March 2011, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32294/19]
View answerMy Department's remit includes complex policy areas, oversight of State regulation and service provision across key strategic sectors such as climate action, waste management, energy and public broadcasting, and regulation of sectors such as mining and hydrocarbon exploration. Given the technical complexity, economic significance and community interest in these areas my Department therefore necessarily incurs expenditure on external information technology. The external information technology costs for the years 2011 to 2019 is outlined in the following table.
