Minister of State at the Department of Defence

I propose to take Questions Nos. 134 and 135 together.

As I indicated in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 79 of 9 May 2018, my Department has no record of awarding any contracts to the company referred to by the Deputy in the period since March 2011. In this context, I am not in a position to comment on the specific issues being raised by the Deputy.
