In response to the Deputy, I am advised that due to the significant volume of information sought, having regard to the time period in question and also the applicability to the eighteen bodies under the aegis of this Department, it is not possible within the time allowed to provide all the information sought.
The table, however, sets out in tabular form the level of expenditure by this Department for each of the years, in as much as it is available, from 2005 to 2016 on photography, including details of the events, campaigns or policies to which this expenditure related, and the company or individual to whom such payments were made.
In relation to the outstanding information, I will arrange for a further reply to be provided within 10 working days of this response, and the further reply shall appear in the Official Report of the Debates.
