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 September 2007. The relevant link, which will take the Deputy directly to these details, including the information sought by him, in relation to expenditure by my Department is: www.pobail.ie/en/CorporateSupport Services/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.
