132. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence to provide details of any public contracts in his Department provided to companies or individuals who do not pay tax in Ireland, including the names of the contractor, value of the contract and purpose of the contract, in tabular form. [2030/25]

Public procurement procedures require a successful tenderer for public contracts to meet certain standards, including requirements in relation to taxation, and my Department adheres fully to these, including a requirement for a Tax Clearance Certificate where the value of payments in a year exceeds €10,000. The application of Irish taxation legislation is ultimately a matter between companies or individuals themselves and the Revenue Commissioners. My Department, therefore, is not in a position to provide the information requested.
