The total amount spent by my Department on all office consumables, including paper, in the period January to end of September 2007 was €82,116.43. (Of this amount some €15,407.94 was spent on paper supplies.) With the exception of specialized paper supplies that are occasionally required, the bulk of the paper used by my Department is purchased under the central contract arrangement agreed by the O.P.W. In this regard, the type of paper concerned is recycled and made from post-consumer office waste paper.
