Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

Responsibility for ensuring compliance with all national and EU procurement rules and procedures rests with contracting or purchasing Departments and public agencies.

Screen Ireland are a body under the remit of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht , Sport and Media.

Accordingly, my Department has no role in this matter.
