In addition to this a sum of approximately €7,400 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. 2014 marked the 90th anniversary of the Department in its modern form since the establishment of the Ministers and Secretaries Act, 1924.
My Department uses external photographers sparingly with a view to keeping costs to a minimum and regularly uses its own facilities and staff to take photographs in house. My Department adheres to appropriate procurement guidelines when engaging the use of external photography services.
