The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
My Department undertakes public awareness and advertising campaigns when there is important information to be brought to the public’s attention. These advertising campaigns generally include traditional advertising on TV, radio, print and online as well as social media. Traditional advertising may be targeted at national or regional level depending on the requirements of the campaign in question. PHD Media is currently the primary agency with responsibility for media-buying and advertisement placement on behalf of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage as part of a cross-Government procurement framework. The company’s records for 2022 show an overall advertising spend for the Department of €676,966.69 in 2022, with €617,386.34 spent on national media and €59,580.35 spent on regional.
Departmental records prior to 2022 do not distinguish between national and regional advertising spend but do indicate an overall advertising spend of €310,328.57 for 2021 and €391,789.89 for 2020.
