339. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the measures that are taken to ensure that successful companies are meeting their environmental obligations under their contracts (details supplied); if these checks are carried out during or at the end of contracts; what penalties/consequences exist for failure to comply with these; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is the responsibility of each contracting authority to outline green and sustainable requirements, and to ensure a contractor meets those obligations. The Department does not have an oversight or governance role and therefore cannot provide specific details regarding any contracting authority.
