My Department does not have direct involvement in executive functions, such as procurement, carried out by a local authority. Under Section 149 of the Local Government Act 2001, the Chief Executive of a local authority is responsible for the executive functions of the local authority, and for that purpose to manage and control generally, the administration and business of the authority, subject to law.
My Department does not hold the specific information requested. However, local authorities are required to publish details of payments over €20,000 in relation to goods or services procured, on a quarterly basis. These registers are published on the respective websites of each local authority.
