Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

There is no record of any payments to ‘Kinzen’ (www.kinzen.com/company) on my Department’s Financial Payments System.

Carr Communications Ltd was engaged by my Department on several occasions over the 30 months within the scope of the question – predominantly for staff training on leadership/people management, presentations and interviews. The costs incurred during that timeframe were €51,599.84.

Details requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the individual bodies concerned and are not collated or retained by my Department. Arrangements have been put in place by each organisation to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The relevant contact email address for each organisation, to which members may address queries, are set out in the following table.
