In response to the Deputy's question, the tables below outline the level of expenditure on photography, advertising, website development and interview training and development by my Department since it was established in 2011. There has been no expenditure on communications advice and public relations during that period.
There is also information in relation to the Institute of Public Administration (IPA), The Public Appointments Service (PAS), the State Laboratory and the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The reply in relation to the Office of Public Works will follow within the next ten days in accordance with Standing Order 42A.
The SEUPB does not record expenditure under the headings of communications advice or interview training and preparation, therefore these have not been included within their response. Please note, all expenditure outlined within their response relates to both the INTERREG and PEACE Programmes and is presented in sterling. The SEUPB is a North/South Body. The attached figures represent 100% of the costs, which includes contributions from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the EU Programmes/ERDF. It would be very difficult to calculate an estimate of the percentage of the costs that are directly attributable to Ireland.
