The Taoiseach: The total spend by my Department on photography from 10th March 2011 to end of April 2012 is €31,291.32. This figure includes photography costs for major events such as the Visit of President Obama and the Presidential Inauguration. Increasingly my Department utilises its own staff to take photographs in house thereby reducing costs. The comparable cost in 2008 for example, was €83,398.00. For major events and inward state visits my Department continues to use the services of a professional photographic agency. As requested, the following table gives a breakdown of costs for each occasion a photographer was engaged since March 2011. A framework for the provision of professional photography services has been finalised by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and is now open to all Government Departments. My Department has contacted the service providers in the framework to provide a quote for its photographic requirements.
