Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

My Department does not carry news summaries on its internal web, however it does subscribe to a commercial press clippings service updated daily. All staff have access to this service via the Department's internal website. It costs, on average, €20,000 per annum.
