My Department has not incurred any photography costs since I was appointed in May 2016.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, following an EU-level advertised procurement process, has established a Framework Agreement comprising five firms for the provision of photography services. The Framework was established in February 2012 and is open for use by all Government Departments and Offices. My Department plans to avail of this Framework Agreement as the need arises.
