It has not been possible, given the timeframe involved, to collate the information required by the Deputy going back to 2002. However, I can inform the Deputy that my Department's records for the period 7 May, 2008 (the date of my appointment) to 31 December, 2008 - the latest period for which records are available - show that the cost of providing me with my official mobile telephony and PDA services amounted to approximately €340 per month.
