Ceist:114 Mr. Cotter asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will outline the source of recycled paper used by his Department in 1991; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Departmental use of Recycled Paper.
All the paper used in my Department is supplied through the Government Supplies Agency which is attached to the Office of Public Works.
My Department has tested a number of samples of recycled paper with a view to finding a product which would meet minimum quality standards at a reasonable cost. The situation in regard to quality and price continues to be monitored and my Department will be happy to increase its use of recycled paper when a suitable product is identified.
