Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not allocate a specific budget for communications, press and public relations. We have a dedicated Press Office who have spent €12,927 to date in 2018.
Other Divisions within my Department may spend some of their admin budget allocations on these categories and the details of such expenditure can be accessed on my Department's website. We publish the details of all expenditure on external services every six months.
