To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide in tabular form the amounts invoiced, allocated or assigned by her Department to other public bodies and agencies, including the National Museum, National Disability Authority, Equality Authority and Office of the Director of Equality Investigations, for information communication and technology services for each year from 2010 to date in 2014; the factors which determine those costs, such as the number of users or storage capacity used or similar; the amounts paid by public bodies and agencies either to her Department or to ICT providers each year for these services; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I have included the data relative to the Deputy's request in the table. This data is for agencies which have been part of my Department's ICT Shared Service during the period in question. The amounts shown represent total costs incurred by those agencies for all information and communications technology services in the years specified. These services are provided across a number of contracts and the factors which determine the cost for any agency are based on usage, level and type of ICT environment used and the level of project activity in any reporting period.

In relation to the specific agencies referenced, the Deputy should note that the National Museum is not, nor has it been, under the aegis of my Department while the Office of the Director of Equality Investigations is a former name of the Equality Tribunal (which is included in the Table).
