No expenditure was incurred by my Department in the period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 on the lease, rental or purchase of car parking spaces as referred to by the Deputy.

In the case of bodies/agencies funded from my Department's Vote Group, I am advised that:

- €32,750 was incurred in respect of leasing of such spaces;

- €40,731* was incurred in respect of renting of such spaces; and

- no costs were incurred in respect of purchasing of such spaces.

* £ sterling costs arising in the case of North/South Bodies were converted using an exchange range of €1 = £0.78.
