Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 June 2021
401. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the amount his Department and all associated agencies have spent on public relations consultancy costs since January 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32641/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has not incurred expenditure for public relations consultancy during the period January 2021 to date in 2021.
As regards the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of the Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have therefore referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue to the Deputy within 10 days.
