I have interpreted the Deputy’s question to relate to payments to Oracle and Accenture since I took up office on 9^th March 2011. No payments have been made to Accenture since 9^th March 2011.

The table details payments made to Oracle from 9^th March 2011 to 31^st December 2013.

All of these payments relate to software licence renewal and support, while the figure for 2012 also includes an amount in the sum of €2,950 which relates to a training course.
