Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach

9:00 am

Mr. Martin Fraser:

Yes. The second one is telephonists. From now on we have a framework with the Office of Government Procurement, OGP. A couple of people run the switchboard in the Department of the Taoiseach. The third one was someone engaged directly by a tribunal. That was €54,000. The last one is the newspapers. To be honest, I cannot see how newspapers can cost any different from anybody else, but we nevertheless have tendered for newspapers.
