Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
802. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources 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. [30036/15]
View answerThe cost incurred by my Department in printing reports was €12,778 in 2013 and €4,666 in 2014. In procuring any services, my Department always seeks to ensure value for money. In relation to my Department’s Annual Reports for 2013 and 2014, both reports were published online only, therefore no printing costs were incurred.
The information sought by the Deputy regarding the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each Agency. I will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisation.
