I refer the Deputy to my answer to Parliamentary Question No.166 of 9 February last. A copy of the information provided in response to that question showing expenditure under the headings by my Department during the years 2011-2016 is set out in the tables. Expenditure that has been incurred to date in 2017 is shown separately. No expenditure was incurred in relation to interview training and preparation for the period requested.

In light of the large volume of information requested by the Deputy, arrangements are being made for the information requested in respect of those agencies under the aegis of my Department to be collated and forwarded to the Deputy in line with the timelines set out in Standing Orders.
