Expenditure on car parking spaces by state agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for the agencies concerned and not one in which I have any function.
I have asked the agencies to provide me with details of any such expenditure and I will forward this to the Deputy once received.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
In my reply, I undertook to request the agencies under the remit of my Department to supply the requested information. This is now set out in the tables.

***the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) moved to new premises on 31 March 2017 and has paid for car park spaces for Quarter 2 of 2017. It did not incur charges for car park spaces prior to this since its establishment on 31 October 2014. The CCPC was formed by the merger of the Competition Authority which did not incur costs for car park spaces and the National Consumer Agency where the cost of car park spaces were included in the rent it paid.
