Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

As the Deputy will be aware, my Department was established on 2 June 2011 and therefore the available information is being provided from that date.

I am advised that €1,600 for non-audit services was paid by my Department in 2012 to one of the companies referred to in the Deputy's Question.
