I can confirm that my Department makes the Irish National Dailies available on line for staff at Principal Officer level and above as well as the Press Office, Minister's Office and Minister of State's Office.

A total of 12 staff from Principal Officer level and above receive a copy of one Irish daily newspaper and 2 of those staff also receive a second Irish daily newspaper. Two staff receive a second Irish national daily newspaper one day a week.

Irish National daily newspapers are also provided for the Press Office, Minister's Office and Minister of State's Office. The total spent by my Department on purchases of Irish national daily newspapers, during 2005, amounted to €14,275.
