890. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if she will provide details of contracts awarded in 2022 by her Department or bodies under her aegis outside the standard procurement process in order to assist the arrival of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23201/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has not awarded any contracts in 2022 outside of the standard procurement process in order to assist the arrival of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.
There are four agencies under my Department’s remit: the Western Development Commission; POBAL; Irish Water Safety; and the Charities Regulator. In respect of these bodies, information relating to this matter is for the bodies concerned. They are independent legal entities responsible for managing their own corporate affairs and staff matters in compliance with statutory obligations and the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies.
