The total cost of the controversial new Dáil printer which did not fit into its designated room will be more than €2 million, it has now emerged.
In total, the print equipment will cost €1.36m, building costs to the Oireachtas amount to €314,453, storage of the printing press is costing €14,760, and outsourcing costs are €100,000. Combined with the cost incurred by OPW, works which came to €221,325, the total cost is just over €2m. Mr Finnegan said that having analysed the print production statistics and the financial cost of the Komori printing press he is “firmly of the opinion that the business case for purchasing it is still sound”.
He said that the union representing the staff of the printing facility have sought details in relation to both health and safety and workflow safety assessments prior to beginning training on the new equipment.
Maybe it can print money to pay for itself... 💰
