I propose to take Questions Nos. 92 and 93 together.

I propose to take question 22603 and 22622 together. The information requested by the Deputy relating to the submission of Prompt Payment reports by the relevant agencies under the Department’s remit is available in the attached table. The Department acknowledges that quarterly reporting on behalf of the agencies under its remit has not been completed for some time. The matter is currently under review in order to address this compliance requirement. The Department continues to produce their quarterly returns with the agencies providing their reports on their own websites.
