Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

My Department acknowledged Pride 2023 by hosting staff tea breaks in our offices in Dublin and Ballina. While souvenirs as referred to by the Deputy were not purchased, items such as flags and bunting were purchased to a nominal value of less than €100 to display in both locations to mark Pride month.
