The first two firms named by the Deputy performed work for my Department in 2018 - the other three named companies did not. The number of consultants involved in the performance of the work varied and was dependent on the nature of the work.

In 2018, the first firm received payments totalling €135,090.90 while the second received €14,760.00; both amounts including VAT.
