The table below sets out the total amounts of monies recorded on my Department's Financial Management System as having been paid to Louth County Council in each of the years from 2016 to 2021 and to date in 2022. It should be noted that the payments made to the Council in that period were to meet costs incurred by my Department that arose in the normal course of business and included fees relating to construction projects. I can confirm that no monies were returned to my Department respectively over the period in question.
