Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 171 and 172 together.

The total photography costs in my Department from 2002 to 2010 were €445,616.75. Details are provided in the table below. My Department does not hold financial records from 1997 to 2001 in a readily accessible format. In addition a breakdown of costs from 2002 to 2010 by supplier name, function and cost is not available within the timeframe allowed to respond to the Deputy's question.
