356 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the amount spent by his Department or agencies under the authority of his Department, on the services of models for use in Departmental promotional activities, during policy launches or other Departmental events since 1997; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraWhile the Department of Foreign Affairs did not directly employ the services of models for promotional activities for the period in question, a small number of individuals, who were not professional models, agreed to appear in a series of posters promoting a greater awareness of the aims of Ireland's 2004 Presidency of the Council of Ministers of the European Union. These individuals were paid between €100 and €150 each by Red Dog Design, the company that won the competition to design the logo and brand the Presidency.
