Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 March 2017
216. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the details of any payments made by her Department, its agencies or any bodies under her aegis to any broadcasters here in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016; the broadcaster to which the funds were provided; the reason for the payments; and if there are any reasons for payments to broadcasters in 2017. [14718/17]
View answerI assume that the Deputy is referring to payments to organisations, networks or stations involved in the broadcast of radio and television programmes. In this regard the Deputy might note that my Department, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and Túsla, the Child and Family Agency did not incur any such payments and that the Office of the Ombudsman for Children will respond directly to him in the matter.
Particulars relating to payments made by the Oberstown Children Detention Campus are set out in the following table:
