Vol. 490 No. 5
96 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the costs incurred since July 1997 for public relations and media advice to him, for personal photographs and for any photographic work to cover functions attended by him outside of the normal coverage provided by photographers of local and national papers. [10716/98]
I have not incurred any costs since July 1997 for public relations and media advice. The media and information office of my Department carries out this function on behalf of my Department.
The costs of such photographic services to my Department in connection with various press conferences, launches, seminars, conferences and other functions amounted to £1,977.56 since July 1997.
