Question:239 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for the Marine the public relations budget which has been allocated to his Department.[3415/95]
Written Answers - Departmental Budget.
A public relations budget as such is not allocated to my Department. Sums from within my Department's administrative budget may, however, be assigned to public relations activities.
Specifically for 1995, and based on the figures contained in the Abridged Book of Estimates, a sum of £35,000 is allocated to advertising and exhibits from Subhead A.3 of the Department's Vote. This funds statutory advertising and marine safety campaigns. In addition, £20,000 is allocated to consultancy in Subhead A.7. My Department also operates a Press and Information Office.
