Billy Timmins

Ceist:

359 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Transport if his Department has a contract or contracts for the purchase of foodstuffs; if so, the value of these contracts; if the origin of any of the foodstuffs is from outside this country; if so, the value of these; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport (Mr. Brennan)

My Department has no contract for the purchase of foodstuff per se. Catering in my Department is provided by a private company and I would not have any information as to where this company sources its food supplies.
