Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 December 2017
767. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the external consultant reports commissioned by her Department since March 2011; the costs per report; the company involved; the title of the report; and the publication date, in tabular form. [54256/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy in respect of the period from the establishment of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht on 2nd June 2011, is set out in the table.
I would also point out that my Department also commissions engineering or environmental experts from time to time to provide technical reports on specific issues, as required. While the providers of these services are consultant engineers, environmental consultants or may describe themselves in other such terms, their work is not classified as consultancy services and is not funded from my Department's Administrative Budget.
