Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

My Department has not incurred any expenditure on public relations in 2017 or to date in 2018.

My Department has from time to time commissioned companies with a public relations and communications background but this has been for the provision of other professional services such as project management, logistics and event management, particularly in relation to Irish Aid public outreach activities.
