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.

First Board Meeting of the Charities Regulatory Authority | Maxwell Photography Ltd | €275.52 |
