The table below sets out the information requested by the Deputy in respect of my Department and the bodies under its aegis. In the period since 2018, the total amount paid by my Department in this regard was €50,705 and by the Office of Public Works was €36,621. These amounts have been aggregated in order not to identify the amounts paid to any individual person.
