The Irish Times, Irish Independent and Irish Examiner are available on-line to staff in my Department.

The number of staff at each grade who each day receive a copy of one Irish daily newspaper which is also available on-line is contained in the following table.

Seven members of my staff are supplied with more than one newspaper on a daily basis. Four members of my staff are also supplied with a paper on the day that the farming supplement is published. The total cost of purchases of printed daily newspapers in my Department in 2005 was €28,540.
