The companies in question were Bridgestock Ltd, Mosney Holidays PLC, East Coast Catering, IBM Ireland and Accenture. The first three companies provide accommodation and related facilities for asylum seekers and the value of these contracts ranged from €10.3 million to €14.1 million. In the case of the latter two companies who provided IT and risk management services respectively, the value of these contracts was in the range of €5.8 million to €9.2 million. I should also add that due to a typographical error, the previous reply to the Deputy's Question referred to four companies providing services to asylum seekers when in fact that should have been stated as three. In line with normal commercial sensitivities, I do not propose to indicate the precise amount of each individual contract.
