I wish to advise the Deputy that the costs accrued during the commissioning of official promotional material in respect of Budget 2023 were paid by my Department.

In order to ensure that Budget documentation was made available promptly to members of this house, to Seanad Éireann, and to media representatives, a limited print run of the full set of documents was prepared. Folders to hold these documents were printed at a cost of €1,526. The “The Budget in Brief: Your Guide to the Budget” document was also printed externally at a cost of €1,200. Total costs to date are therefore in the order of €2,726.
