An examination of records indicates that no amounts were paid to accountancy firms in the past five years in relation to capital projects for which my Department is responsible. Information regarding expenditure on consultancy firms in respect of such projects is set out in the following table:
| Capital Project | 2014€ | 2015 € | 2016€ | 2017€ | 2018€ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C trí Project (Emergency Call Handling System) | Nil | 37,713 | 53,294 | 328,928 | 394,826 |
| Aviation Modernisation and Automation Project (Met Éireann) | Nil | Nil | 7,257 | 88,142 | Nil |
| Climate Modernisation Project (Met Éireann) | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil | 738 |
Local authorities, and bodies under the aegis of my Department, also engage professional expertise to support their work relating to planning, design and delivery of capital projects. This is a matter for the bodies in question.
