The cost incurred by my Department in printing reports was €12,778 in 2013 and €4,666 in 2014. In procuring any services, my Department always seeks to ensure value for money. In relation to my Department’s Annual Reports for 2013 and 2014, both reports were published online only, therefore no printing costs were incurred.

The information sought by the Deputy regarding the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each Agency. I will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisation.

All staff in my Department currently receive electronic payslips. The cost of issuing hard copy payslips in exceptional circumstances to staff in my Department for 2013 is estimated at €400 and the cost for 2014 is estimated at €250. Pension payments to retired staff members from my Department are made by the Pay Master General and therefore there is no cost to the Department.
