Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

My Department has not used the services of models in promotional activities, policy launches or any other departmental events since 1997. Expenditure by the agencies on promotional activities is a day-to-day matter for each agency, and I have no function in this regard.
