As outlined in my previous response, the Department of Education provides IT provision and support services to my Department on a shared basis. As such, that Department meets any costs relating to the IT infrastructure, data maintenance and cyber-security. Thus my Department has not incurred any direct expenditure in these areas since its establishment in 2020.
The information in respect of bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the table below, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly with his query.
