I would refer the Deputy to the details contained in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 143 of 5th February 2009. The amount spent by my Department so far in 2009 is in the region of €18,000. Given the large number of agencies and associated bodies attached to my Department, which include the Courts Service, An Garda Síochána, the Irish Prisons Service, as well as more than twenty other smaller agencies, it is not possible to provide accurate or comprehensive details in respect of this expenditure for these bodies.
