The Deputy will be aware that the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs was established in June 2002. My Department has made available on its website details regarding consultancies (excepting those of minor value, i.e., less than €5,000 excluding VAT) relating to the period since its establishment in June 2002 up to the end of November 2006. The relevant link, which will take the Deputy directly to these details, including the information for the three years sought by him, in relation to expenditure paid by my Department is: www.pobail.ie/en/CorporateSupportServices/ Finance/Consultancies. For the Deputy's convenience, I have arranged for a copy of the material in question to be sent directly to him at his Oireachtas e-mail address.
