Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2011
185 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the total cost of hiring external public relations companies by his Department over the past decade; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20916/11]
View answerMy Department was established on 2 June 2011 and, therefore, the Deputy will appreciate that the information sought by him can only be provided from that date. I am advised that a payment of €5,445 was made since the establishment of my Department to Zoetrope PR for the provision of press and communications services in respect of Culture Ireland's Imagine Ireland initiative in the United States.
