I propose to take Questions Nos. 193 and 194 together.
My Department commissioned one report in 2018 by Deloitte and Touche, which cost €8,781.
The Department of Education and Skills, the national authority for the Erasmus+ programme, is required by the EU to produce, on an annual basis, an independent audit of the monies provided to Leargas. Youth in Action (YIA) is part of the Erasmus+ programme and my Department is responsible for covering the cost of that part of the annual audit by Deloitte & Touche.
I am not in a position to advise on the number of consultants involved in this report as these details are not available.
I confirm that there was no work commissioned or carried out in my Department by the other firms listed in 2018.
