Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2016
193. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the amount of money spent by her Department on media advertising from March 2011 to February 2016 showing the media organisation - newspaper, radio, television or any other forms of media - to which advertisement fees were paid by her Department; and the amount of money paid per year to each individual media organisation, in tabular form. [12890/16]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that my Department does not, as a matter of policy, incur advertising expenditure of this nature. However, expenditure does arise from time to time on public information notices such as, for example relevant campaigns related to raising awareness on human trafficking, the dangers of fireworks, illegal drug dealing or the bringing into force of new legislation and other statutory notices. By their nature such notices need to be placed with local and national media sources. The total cost of all such public information notices within the requested time frame are as follows:
