The Deputy may wish to note that the Department's contract with KPMG is a six month contract with an initial fee of €35k. In the event that this contract is extended by the Department beyond six months, additional hourly rates will apply in accordance with the terms of the contract. No payments have been made to KPMG to date.

I can advise the Deputy that the fee for the accountancy secondee from EY to the Department was paid by the NTMA.

I can inform the Deputy that my Department also engaged individuals from KPMG and Deloitte on a pro bono basis during the above period.

The Deputy may wish to note that my Department publishes on a quarterly basis, payments for legal, consultancy and professional fees on its website - .
