The amount of Prompt Payment Interest (PPI) paid by my Department in the years 2005 to 2007 was €16,216. The table shows the three suppliers paid the highest amount of PPI each year.

A total of €273 was paid by the Office of the Minister for Children for PPI in 2006, the only year in which PPI was incurred. Details of the three suppliers in receipt of the highest PPI payments in that year are IPPA, Brunswick Press Ltd and Freastal who were paid €114, €47 and €33 respectively. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Health Service Executive to forward information directly to the Deputy regarding PPI it paid in the years 2005 to 2007.
