My Department uses external service providers having regard to its business needs for such services. In engaging such providers, the Department is mindful of the need to secure value for money and, accordingly, strives to keep costs to the minimum.
The hiring of external service providers by the agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day-to-day operational matter for the agencies concerned. I have, however, asked the agencies to provide details of any such services procured by them and I will forward these to the Deputy once received.
The following tables set out
(a) the amount spent by my Department and Offices on photography by photographer and photography agencies and
(b) the amount spent by my Department and Offices on agencies which provided public relations and communications advice, such agencies being external to the media officers of my Department.
Costs incurred by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation and its Offices from 1 January 2016 to date in relation to photography by photographer and photography agency
