Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
592. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health the number of annual subscriptions to newspapers or magazines of his Department or the Health Service Executive, including the cost and details. [46757/15]
View answerSince 1 September, 2015 the Department has had a digital subscription to a daily national newspaper for sixteen licences. The cost of this subscription in 2015 was €2,145. Up to the end of August 2015, daily national newspapers were purchased in local newsagents rather than by subscription. From 1 September, the Department has a monthly subscription to a daily national newspaper delivery service for 28 publications. The total cost of this subscription in 2015 was €12,658. The Department does not subscribe to any magazines.
I have also asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in this matter. If you have not received a reply within 15 working days please contact my private office who will follow up.
