Written answers

My Department has not engaged such companies for any private investigation work in the past three years.  However in May 2018 and again in December 2019 my Department did engage one such company to provide a training course on both occasions for Social Welfare Inspectors.  The cost of each course was €4,800.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
