From examination of records in my Department the following contracts were awarded since 2000 to the company named in the Deputy's question:

Ex-post Assessment of the 1996 Pharmacy Regulations65,400.50
Ex-ante Review of Proposed Regulatory Models for the Pharmacy Sector83,901.90
Economics Analysis of Childcare Policy Options101,821.00

All of the contracts were for specialised services available from a limited number of providers and were awarded in accordance with public procurement procedures. Two of the contracts were awarded following restricted tender procedures due to the nature of the service and/or the timescale in which it was required. The other contract was awarded following negotiation with the company concerned as the only one of four companies which responded to a request for expressions of interest. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Health Service Executive to identify any contracts awarded by the Executive to this company since its establishment and to furnish the information requested directly to the Deputy.
