98. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if a company (details supplied) which has been contracted to provide services at a hotel to facilitate the establishment of an EROC by her Department is the same company which initially submitted an expression of interest in 2015-2016 and tendered for the contract during 2016; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to inform the Deputy that the company which responded to the original expression of interest is the company with whom the Department negotiated the contract to run the EROC in Ballaghaderreen. The directors of this company then established a separate company to manage and provide service in the EROC in question. This is normal commercial practice.
