Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1246. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the total cost of all media advertising to her Department for each of the past five years; the efforts her Department is making to ensure that local media, both print and radio, are being supported, as well as national media, by her Department's budget; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37473/13]
View answerThe total cost of all media advertising in my Department is detailed in the following table. I would note that my Department was only established in June 2011 and therefore the information relates to expenditure from that date. In respect of the use of media I can confirm that expenditure extended to the use of both local media as well national media over the period covered and included a spread of spending across a range of regional media outlets.
