The Appropriation Account for my Department for 2019 contains details of the contracts deemed to be non-compliant with procurement guidelines for the year 2019. Details from the 2109 Appropriation Account are attached for the Deputy’s information. A complete record is not available in respect of 2020 as the appropriation account is compiled after the end of the accounting period.

The information requested by the Deputy in regard to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is not routinely compiled by my Department. My officials are in contact with the aegis bodies and I will arrange to have the material forwarded to the Deputy when it becomes available.
