Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 November 2023
14. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the amount paid in late payment interest payments for goods and services provided to his Department in each of the years from 2016 to date in 2023; and separately, the top five highest late interest payments made in each of those years, and the service and goods supplier that received the payments, in tabular form. [52645/23]
View answerAll central Government Departments are required to pay their suppliers within 15 calendar days of receipt of a valid invoice. Late payment interest falls due after 30 days has elapsed, provided that the invoice is not subject to query. Where late payment interest falls due, the supplier is also entitled to the automatic payment of compensation costs.
My Department makes every effort to ensure that payments are paid promptly although there are exceptions that arise.
The attached detail outlines the amount paid in late payment interest payments for goods and services provided to my Department in each of the years from 2016 to date in 2023 as well as the top five highest late interest payments made in each of those years and the service and goods supplier that received the payments.
