The latest year for which information in respect of energy supplies is available is 2005. The costs relating to all of my Department's buildings in the State are as follows:

Bord Gáis €51,639.74.

While my Department has not conducted an audit of its energy use in the recent past, the question of how these supplies are procured will be addressed in its first corporate procurement plan, which is currently being prepared.
