Neither I nor my Department's press office has engaged any external public relations consultants since my appointment in June 2002. There have been six contracts awarded for public information projects by my Department since June 2002 at a cost of €279,658.53. These included two contracts totalling €3,573.53, awarded by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, a contract for €12,000 on the national disability strategy, a contract for €149,109 to develop and implement an awareness campaign at Christmas 2002 on the national age card scheme and two contracts totalling €114,976 for the national anti-racism awareness programme, Know Racism. It should be noted that, to date, no payments have been made on the contact on the national disability strategy.
