I can confirm to the Deputy that the applicable fines, charges or bills payable directly to my Department relate to Freedom of Information costs which can be paid via a cheque or bank transfer.

In addition, public sector employees paid by the Department or the National Shared Service Office have the option to have 3rd party charges deducted from their pay and forwarded onto the relevant parties each month.  This can include schemes such as: Cycle to Work; Travel Pass; Health Insurance; Credit Unions; Social Clubs; and Local Property Tax.
