My Department is committed to reducing the payment period to business suppliers as announced on 20 May 2009 by the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. In that regard, payments due on invoices from business suppliers since 19 May 2009 have been made by my Department as follows:

Within 15 days: 92.46 %

Within 30 days: 99.99%

Longer than 30 days: 0.01%*

* a single payment of less than €300 was involved.
