Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 December 2021
437. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Social Protection if there is a contract which indemnifies her Department against claims for loss or injury by staff or clients of a company (details supplied); if her Department approved the payment of circa €11,400 to a staff member of the company; and if she will supply the budget head under which the payment was made. [62462/21]
View answerMy Department contracts with a range of providers for the provision of employment services, including Employability. Each contract is separately negotiated and the terms and conditions of the contract are confidential. The particulars of contract values and specific payments are also confidential and commercially sensitive. It would be inappropriate therefore to provide the detail sought by the Deputy regarding a specific provision in a contract or individual payments.
