Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department commissions outside or third party reports where highly specialised skills are not available internally and in particular, where ongoing independent evaluation of programmes and projects is necessary.
External expertise has informed, and continues to inform, my Department's strategies and policies and the effective delivery of our services to our citizens in a transparent and accountable manner representing value for money.
Such external expertise may involve the provision of specialised reports, expert analysis or expert technical services to the Department.
Provided is a table of people or organisations who provided third party reports to the Department of Foreign Affairs in 2022 and 2023 (to Date) and the amount they were paid.
