Ceist:156 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the reason over £8 million has been spent on consultancy fees since 15 December 1994. [23512/96]
Written Answers. - Consultancy Fees.
I refer the Deputy to my predecessor's response to a parliamentary question from Deputy Joe Walsh, on 10 October 1996, which sets out the titles of the individual consultancy contracts awarded since 15 December 1994.
From this information it will be clear to the Deputy that the expenditures incurred were required for the various types of expertise and specialist advice in the different sectors of my Department.
