Mr. John McKeon:
No, we have not proceeded with that element of the tender. We included it as an option. Previously, they would have been called press cutting services. Like most other large organisations within and without the public service, we get files everyday of references in the press to the Department. Given the role that social media now play, we thought it might be useful to get cuttings of such references on social media. It was not what it was presented as in some places, namely, that we would be monitoring individuals' use of social media.
