The information requested by the Deputy is currently being collated by my officials and will be forwarded to the Deputy within 10 working days. 

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 272 for answer on 6 March 2019. Eighty Twenty Customer Experience Limited were engaged to provide promotional material for Bike Week via social media in 2018 at a cost of €61,500 inclusive of VAT to my Department.
My Department is currently engaging with companies through the e-tendering process for the provision of a similar service in 2019.
Information on all external expenditure is published on my Department's website and is published on a six monthly basis. The expenditure in relation to the promotional material for Bike Week was processed in the second part of 2018 (July to December) and will be published shortly.
