129. Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 476 of 25 March 2014, if she will outline the budget allocation for each centre; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15459/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department has contracted for the provision job club services with 46 contractors (local development companies/community organisations) to the value of €6 million for 2014.

To publish these values might constrain the ability of the Department to negotiate best value for money in future years.
