401. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide the annual saving to the Exchequer from a 20% reduction in all professional fees for her Department, including but not limited to legal, consultancy, information technology-related, advisory, advertising and accountancy; and the company name and amount invoiced between 1 June 2013 and 31 May 2014.

A total of circa €65.5m inclusive of VAT in professional fees was paid over this period. The annual saving to the Exchequer of a 20% reduction in professional fees at this rate, would be in the region of €13.1m, inclusive of VAT. With respect to the listing sought by the Deputy, I refer to the previous answers to PQs numbers 36656/12, 45335/12, 34581/13, 34549/13 and 2732/14 which addressed the same question and stated that the sheer volume and scale of information sought would make the provision of such information unsuitable for transmission via the PQ System.

I wish to refer the Deputy to previous replies under PQs numbers 36656/12, 45335/12, 34581/13, 34549/13, 2732/14 which addressed the same question.

As previously stated in the replies to these questions the sheer volume and scale of the information sought by the Deputy makes the provision of such information unsuitable for transmission via the PQ System.
