Details of expenditure by my Department for the years 2003 to 2007 and to date in 2008 are as follows:
Year | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007* |
Expenditure | â'¬616,985 | â'¬684,741 | â'¬243,083 | â'¬922,228 | â'¬2,805,875 |
No. of contracts | 22 | 26 | 17 | 21 | 34 |
*Figure includes 2007 expenditure for Fisheries functions. |
It was not possible to compile details of expenditure for 2008 within the time permitted. I will forward the outstanding information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
