The photography costs incurred by my Department from the date of my appointment on the 8th May to date are €553.50.

I can inform the Deputy that photographic services are only used by my Department to mark and provide a record of significant occasions. Consideration is given at all times to the costs involved and best value for money is always a priority when sourcing such services.
