386 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport if she has carried out, during the course of 2010, advertising campaigns to promote any policies or programmes being implemented by her Department; the name of the campaign or relevant programme; the total cost of advertising in publications, broadcast advertising, outdoor advertising and consultancy or production costs; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 385 and 386 together.

In respect of my Department, the information sought by the Deputy is as set out in tabular form.

The carrying out of advertising campaigns by the agencies under the aegis of the Department is a matter for the agencies themselves. However, I would like to point out to the Deputy that in 2011, there are very significant reductions in the expenditure allocations for administration, including advertising, for all State bodies under the aegis of the Department.
