The Irish national daily newspapers are available on-line to staff in the Department. Five Assistant Secretaries, two Directors, 30 Principal Officers and 15 staff in a professional grade receive a copy of one Irish national daily newspaper. Three members of staff receive a copy of more than one Irish national daily newspaper. The cost in 2005 of purchases of each printed daily newspaper, which includes provision for a range of offices such as the Press Office and the Office of the Tánaiste, is as in the table.
