Question:

717. Deputy Shane Cassells asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the photography costs for her Department in each year since March 2011 inclusive of costs incurred from use of the ministerial allowance; the list of occasions for which photographers were booked; the photographers used; the costs associated with each occasion that a photographer was used, in tabular form; if there is a policy regarding the booking of photographers within her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Photography services are used, in conjunction with some press releases and conferences, to communicate the Department’s initiatives, schemes and services to customers and to the regional and national media. Since March 2011, photography services were used for the occasions as set out in the table.

The procurement of these photography services is carried out in accordance with national and EU procurement procedures.

I do not use my ministerial allowance for this purpose.
