The total amount spent each year on printer consumables in my Department is as follows:

The Department was established in June 2007 but I regret that the information requested by the Deputy in relation to 2007 is not readily to hand. Information technology issues, including the amount spent on printer consumables in State agencies is a day to day operational matter for the agencies concerned.

It is the policy of my Department to use 100% recycled paper where possible and I set out below the details as requested by the Deputy for my Department since the Department was established in June 2007.

The issue as it relates to bodies operating under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for those bodies and one in which I have no function.
