123. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Finance the contracts his Department and agencies under his remit are engaged in for the provision of security services; the name of each contractor; the procurement process involved; the duration of each contract; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30242/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to the Deputy’s question, my Department has not engaged in the contracting of security services in respect of buildings occupied by staff.
12 of the 17 bodies under the aegis of my Department are not engaged in contracts for the provision of security services. These are the Credit Review Office, the Credit Union Advisory Committee, the Credit Union Restructuring Board, the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, the Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, the National Treasury Management Agency, the National Asset Management Agency, Home Building Finance Ireland, the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland and the Tax Appeals Commission.
The offices of the National Treasury Management Agency, the National Asset Management Agency, Home Building Finance Ireland and the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland are located in the same building and do not have contracts in place for the provision of security services. In the case of both their current and new premises, building security is provided via the landlord.
Separately, NAMA has contracts in place to provide security for certain lands secured against NAMA loans and details of these contracts are included the attached table.
The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council does not directly contract a security services provider; as part of a shared service agreement, the ESRI provides reception and security services to the Fiscal Council.
