The contracts awarded to the named company by my Department since 2000 are set out in the following table.

In 2006 the Government appointed the managing partner of Indecon to act as independent expert on the €145m sugar restructuring aid at an initial contract of €120,000, excluding VAT and expenses. Due to the urgent and sensitive nature of the matter the contract was not advertised. With regard to State Bodies, this is an operational matter for the bodies themselves.
