Air Services Development Division expenditure on PR services in 2007 amounted to €101,0007 (inc VAT) for services rendered in the period October — November 2006 — in relation to the Ryanair takeover bid for Aer Lingus.

Drury Communications received €183,599.95 (inc VAT) in 2007 for public relations consultancy in relation to Transport 21.

In engaging these services normal procurement procedures were adhered to and value for money is a consideration in all of these proposals.
