The table details the information requested by the Deputy in relation to my Department.

My Department also has an ongoing contract with Arthur Cox for the provision of banking related consultancy services.

For the sake of completeness, I might add that my Department engaged the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers to assist in analysing data from the covered institutions in relation to redundancy matters. The engagement, which commenced late 2011, is on-going and is provided pro bono.
