I refer to the paper from the Oireachtas Library Service, which the Deputy forwarded to me, setting out a distinction between an 'administrative arrangement' and a 'contract for services' and I can confirm that there are two such administrative arrangements in the case of my Department. Details are as follows:
| Name of Company | Details | Duration of administrative arrangement | Cost of administrative arrangement | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Irish Rail | The Department is contributing to the cost of embankment works being carried out by Irish Rail on the rail line as it travels through part of the Avoca former mine site.Works are expected to extend from September 2014 for a 3 to 6 month period. | From September 2014 | c. €500,000 |
| 2. | OPW | OPW undertake maintenance and repair to historic, legacy mine sites. | ongoing | The cost varies but averages from €15,000 to €20,000 per annum. |
