Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
385. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the cost in 2013 and 2014 of printing reports by her Department and agencies under the control of her Department; the corresponding figure for annual reports; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30044/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the costs incurred by my Department for printing reports in 2013 was €4,711. In 2014 no cost was incurred. The corresponding figure for the agencies under the remit of my Department in 2013 was €8,474 (of which €7,736 relates to annual reports) and 2014 was €11,471 (of which €11,107 relates to annual reports). In most cases annual reports are now made available in soft copy format. If printed copies are required these are normally printed internally but it is not possible to quantify these costs as, typically, the quantities involved are low.
