All consultancy related payments in my Department are made from the consultancy budget (A2(vii) subhead).
A breakdown of annual expenditure on consultancy and IT external service provision, and a list of purchase orders for €20,000 and above, is available on my Department’s website at gov.ie - Department of Social Protection Policy on Procurement (www.gov.ie)
