In response to the Deputy’s question the only service that is currently outsourced by my Department is the audit of the operations of the seven Civil Service crèches, to ensure that each crèche is being operated to a high standard and complies with all the necessary Childcare, HSE, and Environmental Health Regulations. In 2011 and 2012 these audits were carried out by a company called Canavan & Byrne and the fees paid in 2011 and 2012 were 8,046.50 and 8,179.50 respectively.
