Finance Minister says more answers are needed on €1.6m printer

The Finance Minister says more explanation is needed as to why a €1.6 million printer is not yet operational.

Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe has said that answers are needed about the cost of the Oireachtas printer and that the “magnitude of the challenge” in relation to the installation of the machine “verges on the inexplicable.”

He told Newstalk Breakfast that the Houses of the Oireachtas are “completely independent” of Government and are therefore responsible for their own affairs.
