The majority of staff in my Department have Internet access (subject to appropriate controls) and the Department holds one corporate subscription, enabling concurrent access for up to 60 users to one on-line national daily newspaper; 63 staff at Principal Officer level and above receive one Irish national newspaper on a daily basis and one member of staff receives more than one such newspaper. The cost of purchase of printed daily newspapers for my Department in 2005 totalled approximately €35,000.
