Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 January 2015
668. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Health if he will provide in tabular form the total photography costs for his Department per annum in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014; the costs incurred from use of the ministerial allowance; a list of occasions for which photographers were booked; the photographers used; a breakdown of costs associated with each occasion that a photographer was used; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1439/15]
View answerDetails of Photography costs for the Department from 2011 to date are shown in the table below.
It is the policy of my Department to keep costs in relation to the use of photographers to a minimum. Photographers are usually booked through the Press Office. From time to time individual units may incur other photography costs. I will advise the Deputy separately if any such payments were made.
No photography costs are met from my Ministerial Allowance.
