All contracts awarded with a value over €25,000 are published by the Department and can be accessed on our website: www.gov.ie/en/organisation-information/48366f-department-of-employment-affairs-and-social-protection-policy-on-pro/#what-we-purchase

None of the companies referred to by the Deputy has received such a contract.

The second company referred to has received three payments totalling €1,890 in 2020 and 2021 for electrical testing and verification. These payments were made under the procurement rules below the threshold of €5,000 which requires verbal quotes and selection based on suitability and competitive cost.
