My Department has spent the following amounts on mobile phone handsets and billing in Ireland in the period 2022 to date.

Year Number of Devices Total Cost (Handsets + Billing)
2022 551 €229,847
2023 598 €265,055
2024 (Jan -Oct) 596 €143,533

Mobile phones are allocated based on business needs, with both mobile phone purchases and mobile billing managed under my Department's OGP contract.
