Prompt Payment Returns

This page serves as the central archive for all quarterly prompt payment returns published by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

It provides a comprehensive historical record of payment performance reports, documenting the department’s compliance with the government requirement to pay suppliers within 15 calendar days. These reports are published in accordance with Government Decision S29296 to promote transparency and support business cash flow.

The collection is organized by year, featuring links to annual sub-collections that include:

• Annual Data Sheets: Individual year-by-year archives from 2011.
• Departmental & Agency Reports: Quarterly breakdowns for the Department itself and the various bodies under its aegis, such as the Heritage Council and Waterways Ireland.
