Question:

336. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will provide a breakdown of communication and advertising costs spent by his Department to promote employment services and supports over the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11951/17]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

My Department is fully committed to ensuring that members of the general public are fully aware of the supports and services available from my Department. This includes employment activation services and supports.

The total expenditure on such activities from 2012 to 2016 was €337,000 and is detailed in the following tables.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
