The Deputy has requested information in relation to payments made by the Department of Finance, the Central Bank, the NTMA and the NPRF to a number of firms. It is not possible to provide all this information in a short time frame. I have however requested this information from the relevant bodies and will send it to the Deputy shortly.

I can however inform the Deputy that my Department has made the following payments for professional services on the banking crisis since 2008.

The financial institutions covered by the State Guarantee use consultants in respect of many aspects of their operations. The Department of Finance does not compile a list of these consultants. I do however expect the banks to continue to control and reduce their cost base and ensure that they achieve value for money when engaging consultants.
