The purchasing of promotional items by Enterprise Ireland is undertaken through a procurement framework in line with public sector procurement policies. This central procurement process is used to ensure value for money and centralised procurement.The variety of promotional items purchased is very wide and includes indoor and outdoor flags, pens, gifts for speakers at events, trade mission gifts, flag ropes, lapel pins/badges, branded clothing, e.g. shirts, etc. and notebooks for specific events. The procured items are for organisational promotion use at domestic and international events, trade missions and in Enterprise Ireland offices here and internationally.

The payment for public relations and communications consultancy is a day-to-day matter for the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB), for which I have no direct function.
