Ms Katherine Licken:
In terms of supports, €4.4 million was spent by the Government on regional and local print advertising from March 2021 to date. Ms Banotti, who is present, also put advertising in relation to Cruinniú na nÓg, the national day of creativity for children in the local print media. Our Department spent €187,000 on that. The print media also had access to the horizontal supports and we know they availed of them. They were made available across Government. We are conscious of the role of local media.
