Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2019
636. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will publish the cost of newspapers in her Department in 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2708/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraExpenditure on newspapers purchased by my Department in 2018 amounted to €9,993.53. These costs are provisional and subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
The Department monitors such expenditure closely at all times and keeps these costs to a minimum.
The total expenditure cited above includes the purchase and delivery of print copies of newspapers as well as online subscriptions where required, as online content is only available with a subscription in some cases.
