I propose to take Questions Nos. 495 and 496 together.

As the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions, including the provision and maintenance of accommodation for court sittings. I have had inquiries made in order to be of assistance to the Deputy. I have been informed by the Courts Service that expenditure in 2012 on outsourced security and cleaning services on all court venues, excluding the Dublin Criminal Courts of Justice Complex, was as set out in the following tables:

The county council payments refers to payments to various county councils in relation to cleaning costs. Security and cleaning services for the Criminal Courts of Justice are provided as part of the overall PPP contract and form part of the monthly unitary payment charge of approximately €21.4 million (including VAT) per annum over a 25-year period. The PPP payment includes provision for structural maintenance and operation of certain services within the Criminal Courts of Justice.
