Question 456: To ask the Minister for Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs the number of public contracts awarded to European companies and the number awarded to indigenous companies over the past five years; the monetary value of the projects awarded to European companies as opposed to indigenous companies for the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware, on foot of the restructuring of Government Departments announced by the Taoiseach in March 2011, functions that previously were under the remit of the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs - shortly to be renamed as the Department of Children and Youth Affairs - have now transferred to six reconfigured Departments.
The family policy division is the sole function within my Department's remit at this time and as its primary purpose is to liaise with the Family Support Agency, I am advised that no contracts of the nature referred to by the Deputy have been awarded by this division over the past five years.
