271 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the amount spent by his Department on opinion polling and focus group research in each of the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1175/11]

272 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the number of mobile telephones paid for by public bodies under his remit in each of the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; the total cost of paying mobile telephone bills in each of those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagra273 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Finance the number of mobile telephones paid for by his Department in each of the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; the total cost of paying mobile telephone bills in each of those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1205/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 272 and 273 together.
The table sets out the total number of mobile telephones paid for and the total costs of paying mobile phone bills by my Department and by public bodies under my remit in each of the past four years (2007 to 2010).
In the time available the Office of Public Works was unable to provide the information requested. The information is being collated by that office and will issue directly to the Deputy.
The costs included for the Special EU Programmes Body are co-funded by the Department of Finance & Personnel and in some cases by the EU. Accordingly a maximum of 50% of the costs included for that body are borne by my Department.
