I can inform the Deputy that, based on an analysis of payments to the main suppliers of paper stationery products to my Department, it is estimated that in the region of €288,000 has been spent on such products to date in 2007. A very wide range of products are covered under this heading and it is not readily possible to ascertain in all cases whether the particular product contained recycled material. I can confirm, however, that at least €87,000 of this expenditure does relate to recycled products.
