Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 2338, 2339 and 2342 together.
Details of the costs incurred on photography and other promotional services, public relations and media content by my Department since January 2017 are set out in the tables below. The overall objective is to keep costs of this nature to a minimum and these services are only used when deemed necessary in the course of Departmental activity. The 2017 figures for 'Other Promotional Services (Advertisements)' and 'Public Relations' relate to awareness raising of increased childcare supports, which are now benefiting over 70,000 children.
