My Department has published the reports of procurement-related payments of purchase orders over €20,000 for Quarter 1 and 2 of 2025.

These reports, along with prior years reports are available on the Department's website at www.agriculture.gov.ie under the Contracts Awarded link in the Freedom of Information (FOI) section.

The Quarter 3 report will be published in Quarter 4 of 2025.

945. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department will publish the procurement related payment reports (details supplied) in machine-readable formats such as CSV or excel on a quarterly basis, in line with open data standards; if not, the legal, technical, or operational constraints that prevent compliance with the requirement under S.I. No. 376/2021 to provide such documents in open, machine-readable formats for reuse; and the steps his Department has or plans to take to align its reporting practices with open data principles to improve accessibility, transparency, and re-use of this information by the public.

The reports have now been published in .xls (excel) format as requested. They are available on the Department's website at www.agriculture.gov.ie under the Contracts Awarded link in the Freedom of Information (FOI) section..

Future reports will also be published on my Department’s website in this format on a quarterly basis.
