Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

The table that follows this reply lists the publications and booklets produced by my Department between 1 January 2007 and June 2008. Costs associated with the production of these publications are listed in the table. As most of the publications and booklets have been prepared internally by the Department's staff or with the assistance from other public servants and published on the Department's web site, the portion of staff time relating to the preparation of the reports cannot be costed without unwarranted expenditure or effort.
