Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Departmental Data (8 May 2024)

“The expected default rate and calculation of same for State backed loan schemes is not a matter for my Department. This is a matter solely for the on-lenders of the schemes and is commercially sensitive information that is not released by the on-lenders.”

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Departmental Staff (8 May 2024)

“My Department and the Offices under its aegis have no employees currently suspended on full pay pending disciplinary investigations. In respect of the agencies that come within my remit, they are statutorily independent in their functions and this is an operational matter for them. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the agencies for direct reply.”

Written Answers — Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment: EU Programmes (8 May 2024)

“I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has not paid in to any EU programmes or funds outside of the multiannual financial framework from the year 2014 to date.”
