  198.  Deputy Richard Bruton      asked the Minister for Transport      the estimated energy use of his Department in the years 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010; the total cost of that energy use in each of those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44946/10]

Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey):    The Department of Transport costs of energy used for 2008, 2009 and 2010 to date are set out in the following table.

Energy use by the Department is monitored using the services of consultants engaged by the Office of Public Works and every effort is made to achieve economies. The National Recovery Plan (2011/2014) also contains among its objectives procurement of common goods and services, including energy (gas and electricity) by the National Procurement Service (NPS). It is envisaged that future savings in energy costs will be made with the support of the buying power of the NPS.
