The information requested is set out in the table below and covers the period from 2 June 2011 which was the establishment date for the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
No costs were incurred from use of the Ministerial allowance.
The hiring of photographers for Ministerial or Departmental events is dependent on a number of factors, including the nature of the engagement, the expected level of media interest and the national/regional scope of the subject. Certain costs included relate to the photographic documentation of important heritage sites, a key function of my Department, rather than to specific occasions. At all times, value for money is a critical consideration in the context of the booking of photographers.
