In the following table are details of consultancies for 2007 and to date in 2008. The table contains data on Marine consultancies that were undertaken prior to the transfer of functions to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food during 2007. The data covers both consultancies incurred under subhead A7 of my Department's Vote as well as consultancies associated with Programme spend. Expenditure on consultancies in 2009 will be significantly reduced in line with Government policy.
