Written answers

Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment

My Department did not incur any expenditure on verification services, premium accounts or subscription-based services on the platform in the years listed.

The information sought in this Question in relation to each agency or public body under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each of the State Bodies concerned and, as such, it is not information held by my Department. It is suggested that the Deputy contact the Bodies directly in relation to this matter. A list of these Bodies and their dedicated Oireachtas email addresses is attached.
