A contract existed between my Department and the company to which the Deputy refers in respect of works at the Navan Education Centre. The value of the contract was €255,023 inclusive of VAT. Payments totalling this amount have issued as follows: 16/9/09 = €118,805 12/10/09 = €84,711.18 23/9/10 = €19,107.73 14/10/10 = €32,399.04.

I am aware that the company has been placed in examinership. As the Deputy will appreciate contractual matters involving sub-contractors and the company/Examiner are for resolution between these parties.
