1009. Deputy Brian Brennan asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment the total amount his Department and Departmental agencies have spent in 2025 and to date in 2026 on social media and web advertising; the proportion this is of his Department's advertising budget; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60928/26]

The below table sets out spend on social media and web advertising by my Department in 2025 and to date in 2026 and also the proportion this is of my department's advertising budget.

The advertising activity by the agencies under my department’s remit is an operational matter for those bodies, and I do not have any direct function in these matters.
