Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department provides public information about a wide range of schemes, services and policies. Social media is one of the channels used to communicate this information.
In 2021, my Department spent €2,749.76 (incl. VAT) on advertising on social media.
The amounts spent on each platform is set out in the table below.

As regards the 12 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
