The average time for payment to be made by agencies affiliated to my Department to outside contractors for goods and services is a matter for the agencies themselves. However, the Prompt Payment of Accounts Acts, apply to all Public Bodies and to contractors on public sector contracts. Insofar as the Department is concerned the average turnaround time for payments to outside businesses in respect of goods and services received is 9.48 days.
