My Department has made available on its website details regarding consultancies (excepting those of minor value, i.e., less than €5,000 excluding VAT) from June 2002 to end-December 2009. The relevant link, which will take the Deputy directly to these details, including the information sought by him, is as follows: www.pobail.ie/en/CorporateSupportServices/Finance/Consultancies
My Department has closely scrutinised the use of external consultants and I am satisfied that they are only engaged where they represent good value for money.
