Details of annual photography costs incurred by my Department since my appointment in July 2014 are set out in the following table. The total costs involved were €1,168 for that period in 2014, €15,489 for 2015 and €9,473 to date in 2016.
The hiring of photographers for Ministerial or Departmental events is dependent on a number of factors, including the nature of the engagement, the expected level of media interest and the national/regional scope of the subject. At all times, value for money is a critical consideration in the context of the booking of photographers.
