423. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the cost in 2013 and 2014 of printing reports by his Department and agencies under the control of his Department; the corresponding figure for annual reports; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30035/15]
View answerDetails regarding the expenditure incurred by my Department on the printing of reports in the years 2013 and 2014 are set out in the following table:

It might be noted that no printing costs are associated with the production of the Annual Report for the Department of Children and Youth Affairs as it is normally published on the Department`s website.
The State Agencies under the remit of my Department include Tusla, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and the Office of the Ombudsman for Children. Expenditure by them on printing is a day-to-day operational matter and in the circumstances I have requested that they furnish the information directly to the Deputy.
