Payments to my Department are made by cheque, postal order or electronic funds transfer to the Department's bank account at the Central Bank. The Department does not have a merchant account. The information requested by the Deputy in relation to agencies operating under the aegis of this Department is being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy when it is finalised.
