Minister for Health

Payments to my Department are made by cheque, postal order or electronic funds transfer to the Department's bank account at the Central Bank. My Department does not have a merchant account.

I have requested this information from bodies under the aegis of my Department and will have the relevant details forwarded to the Deputy when it is received.
