The information requested by the Deputy in respect of contracts entered into from current spending by my Department (including the Offices of my Department such as the Companies Registration Office, the Patents Office, etc.) in 2008 is as set out in the table below.
| Company Name | Contract Value | Purpose of Contract |
| Enterprise Registry Solutions | €3,792,600 over 3 years | IT systems development, maintenance and support |
| Mr. Bill Shipsey (High Court-appointed Inspector to DCC) | €1,200,000 | Investigation into DCC |
| G4S | €560,000 over 3 years | Static Guarding for the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement's premises |
| Sword | €479,337 | Maintenance, Development and Onsite Support for Patents Office Information and Communications Technology (ICT) "Administration System". |
| KPMG | €273,460 | Assessment and Report on a specific company's restructuring plan |
In so far as capital investments funded through my Department's Vote are concerned, these are undertaken by my Department's Agencies such as IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland etc. and as such are day-to-day matters for the Agencies themselves and not decided on by me or my Department. My Department does not directly expend capital moneys.
