I propose to take Questions Nos. 1367 and 1369 together.
My Department does not employ external public relations and consultancy persons and organisations. Public relations advice, where required is provided by my Department’s Press Office. It is not possible to provide costs for this service, as the work is carried out as part of the standard duties of the staff involved.
