Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 October 2020
146. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the contracts with public relations agencies and consultants entered into by his Department; and the remit of these contracts including the costs in tabular form. [29356/20]
View answerI understand my Department does not have any contracts with public relations agencies or consultants. Press and public relations functions are generally undertaken by my Department's Press Office and Communications Unit.
The engagement of external expertise is only considered where the issues involved require expert skills or capabilities that are not readily available within my Department.
