Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 June 2025
310. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment the total estimated cost to the Exchequer associated with the recent renaming and rebranding of his Department including but not limited to cost categories (details supplied); the breakdown of the incurred or projected costs; and if a cost-benefit analysis or any assessment of public value was carried out prior to approving these changes. [31364/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe estimated cost to the exchequer associated with the recent change of name and change of functions of my Department is €5,183.94 excl. VAT.
My Department generally procures goods and services in cases where there is not the necessary expertise to deliver the project in-house, where it is deemed essential, or in cases where a project must be completed within a short time scale, and although the expertise or experience may be available in-house, performing the task would involve a prohibitive opportunity cost.
In each particular case, criteria specific to the item being procured are used in selecting a service provider including cost and value for money.
