Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the amount expended by his Department on advertising and awareness raising initiatives related to Covid-19 from March 2020 to date in 2021; the print, online and broadcasting media organisations contracted to provide this service; the amount provided to each in the timeframe concerned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department has incurred no expenditure on external advertising in relation to Covid-19. My Department has made extensive use of our online resources in the dissemination of information and advice, particularly in regard to international travel and the provision of consular assistance. This has included a major overhaul of the travel advice section of the dfa.ie website and those of our Missions abroad. My Department also provides regular input to the central Government led Covid-19 communications campaign and to the Covid-19 information hub on the gov.ie website.
