Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 January 2024
77. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will reconsider the way in which his Department is leading the "Your Council" campaign so that advertising is also undertaken in local newspapers and on local radio stations (details supplied). [4317/24]
View answerThe public information campaign referred to and currently underway is an important initiative to provide members of the public with more information about local government including an overview of the different responsibilities of local authorities and the key role played by Councillors in shaping communities.
The campaign is set to run until mid-February. As well as through social media promotion and outdoor advertising, our advertisements are running across national and local radio stations throughout the country at present along with digital advertising (including a presence on many regional news sites). Print media advertisements in local newspapers are also planned to run during the lifetime of this campaign.
