I propose to take Questions Nos. 111 and 113 together.

The table details the expenditure by my Department on professional services, where professional services withholding tax has been applied, from 1 June 2013 to 31 May 2014.

Company NameAmount Paid
IT Force Ltd€36,309.60
Q4 Public Relations€26,909.24
PTools€15,562.96
Red Dog Design Consultants€12,532.50
Caroline Erskine€11,512.80
Sam360€2,560.37
Creative Ad Limited€1,845.00
Slick Fish Design€1,276.74
QTS Limited€307.50
Geralyn Downey€121.20
Total€108,937.91

Of the total expenditure €50,955 related to Ireland's Presidency of the EU and the Constitutional Convention.

Annual savings of €21,788 would be available to the Exchequer if a 20% reduction was applied.
