Amharc ar fhreagra2725. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government his Department's expenditure on the purchase of newspapers and other media content, such as, print, digital and other forms in 2017 and to date in 2018. [34302/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 2721 and 2725 together.
My Department’s Press Office generally provides photographic services when required. However, on occasions where this is not possible, a service provider is selected from the OGP panel in line with the procurement framework.
My Department is also developing its own videography capability. However, previously, when an information campaign to raise awareness of the supports available from my Department was being rolled out, for example, the Housing Assistance Payment Digital Campaign, professional services were availed of to maximise the quality and reach.
The details requested by the Deputy are outlined in the table.
