I am advised that my Department has no current contracts with or receives services from the company referred to by the Deputy.

From 2015 to 2019 , the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht engaged the company referred to by the Deputy for the following:

1. A key-holding service at its offices on Ely Place, Dublin 2 from 2015 - 2017

2. A full security service at its premises in North King Street, Dublin 7, for 2018 and up until 11 January 2019 (some of the 2019 expenditure was for services supplied in 2018).

These contracts previously existed in respect of the Heritage function of the former Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, which transferred in 2020 to the Department of Housing, Heritage and Local Government.

The relevant expenditure figures are set out in the table below.
