Details of consultancy firms used by my Department in 2007 is set out in the following table. The provision of a service by an external resource, due to lack of internal skills or resources is treated as contracting or outsourcing and is not included in these figures. With regard to State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the use of consultants by these bodies is a matter for the bodies themselves and the Deputy should request the information directly from them.
