Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2024
98. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the total costs incurred by his Department from 2019 to date relating to the placing of advertisements in print media; the names of the print media publications involved, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21865/24]
View answerThe Department of Foreign Affairs uses advertising and public awareness campaigns primarily to promote essential services to citizens at home and abroad such as passport and consular services. In recent years, public awareness campaigns in relation to COVID-19 travel restrictions and Brexit have formed a significant part of campaigns.
The Department engages the services of third-party media agencies (PHD Media and Javelin), retained under a cross-Government procurement process, for the purposes of advertisement placement in print media. The vast majority of the Department’s spend on advertising and public awareness campaigns is conducted through these agencies with the aim of maximising the audience reached.
The below figures represent the costs of the placing of advertisements in print media, conducted via third-party agencies:
