For the Deputy's information, the following table lists, by organisation, expenditure from my Department's administrative budget on advertisement fees. Expenditure on public advertisements is incurred in connection with a wide range of educational programmes and schemes including staff appointments in the education sector, invitations to attend local hearings, invitations to forward submissions on education-related schemes/projects, and invitations to tender for school building projects. Every effort is made to keep advertising costs as low as possible.
For the Deputy's information, the total expenditure in this area was reduced significantly in recent years. By way of comparison, €2,138,000 was spent in this area in the period 2006 to 2010, while the total expenditure in the period 2011 to 2015 was €374,000 a reduction of approximately 80%.
