We have reduced considerably the amount of money spent on consultancy in recent years. We provided money for consultancy on Irish Water, and PricewaterhouseCoopers won that particular contract which cost approximately €100,000. We also use consultants with regard to infringement cases at the European Court of Justice as we regularly need expertise to deal with these court cases. This is paid from the environment fund. An evaluation of the property tax was also carried out.
