Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 March 2023
256. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he will provide details of all procurement competitions, if any, in which companies (details supplied) won contracts from his Department since 2016. [14729/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my correspondence to him dated 14 February, 2023, which was a Deferred Reply to Parliamentary Questions 291 and 293 of 31 January, 2023. In that letter, I confirmed that my Department did not award any contracts to any of the seven companies the Deputy listed since 2016. For completeness, although not one of the companies listed by the Deputy, I added that my Department made a payment of €1,929.50 in November 2016 to a company called Designer Group FM Ltd. under an Office of Public Works (OPW) managed contract. This payment was for electrical works that were managed by the OPW but paid for by my Department as they related to the provision of network connectivity associated with Government Networks. I wish to confirm that the position remains that there have been no contracts awarded by my Department to the companies listed by the Deputy since 2016.
