The information requested by the Deputy has now been finalised and is set out in the tabular statement below. This provides a full listing of all contracts in the years concerned together with the relevant details. The information in respect of 2006 is based on financial provision for the respective projects. Because of the scope and detailed nature of the information sought, it was necessary to undertake a comprehensive trawl of all units of my Department. A considerable amount of cross-checking and co-ordination was also necessary. The overall process took longer than anticipated and the delay involved is regretted.
