Written Answers. - Christmas Cards.
567.
Limerick East): The number of Christmas cards sent by me at Christmas 1983 was 1,397. The total cost of the cards was £598.25. As these cards were dispatched with normal departmental post for the period in question, no separate record is available regarding the cost of postage.
The Minister of State attached to my Department, Deputy Nuala Fennell, is also attached to the Department of the Taoiseach and I understand that Christmas cards sent by her were sent from that Department.
