I wish to advise the Deputy that the information sought is set out below in respect of my Department and bodies under the aegis of my Department for which I have responsibility.

The Deputy may wish to note that I have no responsibility to the Dáil in respect of agencies which are statutorily independent. While the Insolvency Service of Ireland is such an agency I have however, included the above details of their expenditure as the contract commenced prior to their establishment as a separate legal entity.
