I propose to take Questions Nos. 262 and 263 together.
The table below contains information in relation to accountancy services provided to my Department. These are total fees paid to the employment agency and the breakdown of these figures between the employee and the employment agency is a matter for those parties.
Year | Total paid (€) |
---|---|
2011 | 165,597 |
2012 | 184,864 |
2013 | 188,926 |
2014 to date | 166,690 |
An additional €4,189 was paid in 2012 for temporary recruitment in relation to the Sports Capital programme. There was an approximate breakdown of 30% as a fee for recruitment services and 70% to the employee.
In relation to agencies under the remit of my Department, this is a matter for the agencies themselves. I will, however, forward the questions to agencies under my remit for direct reply to you. If you do not hear from them within 10 working days please contact my private office.
