The company referred to in the Question  were awarded a contract in 2013 to design, build, operate and maintain the national postcode system under licence for a ten year period, extendable by a further five years at the discretion of the Minister.  The expected cost to the Exchequer over the life of the Contract is €33.2m.

The Internal Audit Unit of my Department entered into a contract on 14 August 2012 with one of the company's subsidiaries for the provision of internal audit services. This contract ended on 30 June 2013.  This was a joint contract with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. The cost of this contract to my Department was €38,546. Both amounts are inclusive of VAT

The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency.  The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
