112. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the amount spent in each year for the past five years on accountancy and consultancy firms in relation to capital projects; the specific capital project in which the costs were incurred; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has not engaged accountancy or consultancy firms in relation to capital projects in the past five years. Capital projects arise in the main within agencies in the Justice and Equality sector rather than the Department itself, or are managed by the Office of Public Works on behalf of the Department and its agencies. In that regard I have requested that the agencies under the remit of my Department respond directly to the Deputy.
