Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

The total photography costs for my Department since 9 March 2011 are €381.15 (€315 + €66.15 VAT). This cost relates to copies of photographs taken of a school project and their use on an A1 display board which was submitted to the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland for the joint RIAI/Department colloquium on school design which was held on 30 June 2011 in Dublin.
