It is not possible, in the time available, to compile the detailed information requested by the Deputy.
My officials are collating the information requested and a deferred reply will be issued to the Deputy shortly.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
In respect of the Department itself, in 2020 the Department paid Quadra Consulting €3,444.00 to undertake Covid-19 risk assessments in our offices in Trinity Point, Dublin 2 and Government Buildings, Ballina.
The Department also drew down additional services under existing contracts on foot of Covid-19, such as enhanced and additional cleaning, and procured Covid-19 related goods from existing suppliers, e.g. PPE, hand sanitiser etc. However, no other contractual arrangement was entered into for the specific purposes of Covid-19 management or response. The table in appendix 1 provides the information requested on the agencies under the aegis of the Department.
