The Department uses external photographers sparingly and, with a view to keeping costs to a minimum, the Department regularly uses its own facilities and staff to take photographs in-house.
My Department will, in the future, consider also availing of the panel of photography firms recently selected following a procurement process undertaken by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and which is generally available for use by all Departments.
