Brendan Howlin

Ceist:

76. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Taoiseach the level of expenditure by his Department or organisations under the aegis of his Department for each of the past five years on photography, advertising, communications advice, public relations, website development, media interview training and preparation; the events, campaigns or policies to which this expenditure related; and the company or person to which such payments were made, in tabular form. [32658/17]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Freagraí scríofa

The tables below detail expenditure by my Department on photography, advertising, communications advice/public relations and website development for the years 2013 to 2017 inclusive. There was no expenditure on interview training and preparation in those years. Expenditure for communications advice/public relations was only incurred by the Department in 2013.

Relevant expenditure in the various categories is also included for the National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO), the only body under the aegis of my Department.
