Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

In response to the Deputy’s question I can confirm that there were no costs borne by my Department for providing telephones and ICT to my Constituency Office since March 2011.

Provision of PCs, laptops and other computer-related equipment to the Minister of State and his three staff amounted to €3,905.46.
