Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 June 2013
88. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Finance if he will detail in tabular form, the names of all external public relations, communications consultants and organisations used by his Department since 9 March 2011; the details of the services supplied by each; the expenditure on each; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28811/13]
View answerI take it that the Deputy is referring solely to public relations costs and not to advertising costs that would be incurred by my Department in the normal course of business, such as entries into telephone directories, the placing of advertisements in national newspapers, recruitment advertising, etc. In the period in question no such costs were incurred by my Department.
