Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

My Department does not employ external persons or firms to deal with public relations. My Department’s Press Office provides public relations services and the engagement of external expertise would only be considered where the issues involved require specific expert skills that are not readily available within the Department.

Question No. 371 answered with Question No. 348.
