I can confirm that my Department has not procured services from the company in question.

There are eight agencies under the remit of my Department,: Pobal, Western Development Commission, Charities Regulatory Authority, Water Safety Ireland, Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga, Údarás na Gaeltachta, Foras na Gaeilge, and the Ulster-Scots Agency.

These agencies are independent legal entities responsible for managing their own corporate affairs in compliance with statutory obligations and the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies. Notwithstanding this, I am informed that none of these bodies have procured services from the company in question.
