Photography costs of approximately €1,860 are outlined for the Deputy's information in the documents below. To mark the 90th anniversary of the Department in its modern form since the establishment of the Ministers and Secretaries Act, 1924 a sum of approximately €7,500 was paid in July 2014 by my Department for the restoration, framing and installation of photographs in order to establish a photo gallery of Ministers and Secretaries General who have served in the Department. Since my appointment, no photographers have been booked or costs incurred for Ministerial events through the Ministerial Allowance.

My Department adheres to appropriate procurement guidelines when procuring the use of photography services.
