Access to non-subscription daily national newspapers is available to staff in my Department on-line. 2 Assistant Secretaries and 9 Principal Officers receive a copy of one newspaper per day. The offices of the Minister, Minister of State, Secretary General and Press Officer all receive a copy of more than one newspaper per day. The total cost of printed newspapers in my Department in 2005 was approximately €25,000.
