Dear ###,

We write further to your request which was received on 30 March 2022 and which states:

"Pls provide for the NSC the spending on all activities per year from 2014/2015 to 2021/2022 fiscal years inclusive and the budget allocated at the beginning of each year. Pls provide the source/department the funds were allocated from/by" On 30 March 2022 you clarified: “Activities meaning the running costs of the NSC per year and also the extras for the improvements; for example new doors, replacement windows etc. basically the extras outside of the normal running costs. A total per year is ample.” While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold some of the information that you have requested. Specifically, the Department does not hold the figures for 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 in respect of the expenditure on maintenance and refurbishment work that was funded by Department of Infrastructure revenue budgets. I have enclosed copies of the information that is held.

Please quote the reference number 2358057 in any future communications.
