I propose to take Questions Nos. 136 to 138, inclusive, together.

I understand my officials have been in touch with the Deputy's office to explain that the Revenue Commissioners do not have the information to these questions as the detail is not contained in the relevant VAT returns.

I have also been informed that officials from the Office of Government Procurement have spoken with Deputy Barry to explain the policy position that requires Ireland's National Guidelines on Public Procurement to be in compliance with the relevant European Directives.
