The total expenditure by the Department of Defence for photography, advertising, public relations, website development and media interview training and preparation in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and up to 6 July 2017 is set out in the following tables. There was no expenditure in the past five years on communications advice.
In relation to expenditure in these areas for the Defence Forces, it was not possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy in the timeframe available. I shall provide the figures to the Deputy when I receive them from the military authorities.
