Notes relating to the "Switch Your Bank Campaign":
The Switch Your Bank Campaign is funded entirely by AIB and PTSB in the context of their restructuring plans.
All figures above are ex VAT.
The campaign also included expenditure on project management and creative development meaning that phase one of the Switch Your Bank Campaign cost a total of €600,000 ex VAT (€738,000 VAT inc).
Language Communications Ltd was appointed as Prime Contractor for this campaign following a public procurement competition advertised on Etenders and the Official Journal of the EU. This contract was extended in 2017 in accordance with the provisions of the competition. Expenditure to date on the second phase has amounted to €3600 ex VAT.
With respect to the eighteen bodies under the aegis of my Department, I have been advised that three have not incurred any expenditure on items identified by the Deputy during the period outlined. These are the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal, the Credit Union Advisory Committee and the Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal.
It was not possible for the Central Bank of Ireland and the National Treasury Management Agency to provide the information sought in the time available and therefore I will make arrangements to provide the outstanding information in line with Standing Orders.
The remaining thirteen bodies have provided the information sought and this is set out in the attached table.
