The information requested by the Deputy with regard to photography is available on my Department's website at www.agriculture.gov.ie/aboutus/ministers/photographycosts. This information is regularly updated by my Department. Wherever possible, the Department avails of internal photography skills.
The vast bulk of my Department’s advertising consists of press notices in the specialised farming press, provincial and national newspapers. This expenditure includes the publication of Statutory Notices that are required to comply with various national and EU legislative requirements. Decisions on the placement of notices are made on a case by case basis, depending on the nature of the advertisement and the target audience. The expenditure on advertising for the period in question is set out in the attached table.
In general, public relations advice is provided by my Department's Press Office. However, from time to time, it may be necessary to engage the services of an outside provider for media interview training and preparation purposes. Expenditure in this regard is detailed in the table attached. My Department has not engaged the services of a public relations advisor during the period in question.
There has been no expenditure on website development in the past five years.
