I can advise the Deputy that my Department does not have any contracts with the named company. In terms of the placing of contracts for services by the thirteen agencies that come within my Department's remit, this an operational matter for those agencies. As agencies that are governed by the code of practice for State Sponsored bodies, they are fully accountable in terms of observing all relevant fiscal and governance rules.
