Written answers

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

My Department and its Offices have not commissioned any advertorial content in the past 12 months.

Any decisions by the agencies under the aegis of my Department to engage with the media are taken by those agencies as part of their ongoing communications planning. I have asked the agencies to inform me of any advertorial content commissioned by them over the last twelve months and I will provide these details, if any, to the Deputy once received.
