I propose to take Questions Nos. 128 and 129 together.
Since its establishment in July 2011 my Department has had no expenditure on public relations companies. It has spent €13,525 on advertising, in relation to entry into the 2012 State Directory.
The Deputy should note, that expenditure from 2006 to July 2011 for my Department is covered by material provided by the Department of Finance, given that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform was not officially established until last July.
