‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tobacco and Alcohol Advertising. Tobacco and alcohol advertising expenditure
Summary
Dr. Browne sought historical advertising-spend figures for tobacco and alcohol. The requested figures were unavailable because no official series tracks expenditure by commodity; he questioned why the existing approach could not continue.
asked the Taoiseach the figures available for moneys spent by the tobacco and alcohol industries on cigarette, tobacco and alcohol advertising in the Republic for each of the years 1950, 1960, 1970 and to the most recent date for which figures are available.
Comment on this
The information requested by the Deputy is not available since no official series are compiled relating to advertising expenditure on particular commodities.
