Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: I thank the Taoiseach for appearing before the select committee. I will focus on the strategic communications unit and make no apologies for doing so. I know that the Taoiseach has been quick on a number of occasions to say the Opposition should not focus on it, but I think there is significant public interest in what I see as public money being used for political purposes. As far as I...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: I pay tribute to the journalists Ms Ellen Coyne of The Times, Ireland edition, and Mr. Hugh O'Connell of TheSunday Business Postfor pursuing this issue. In particular, Ms Coyne's article was described as inaccurate reportage by the Taoiseach, but I think it was subsequently largely accepted by him as being accurate. They shone a light on this issue when, by its actions in terms of FOI...

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: I have separate Creative Ireland emails. These are reported as being the Project Ireland 2040 emails. The essential point is that Mediaforce did request that copy would not include a label such as "advertorial" and that the sponsored content should look like editorial. Does the Taoiseach accept that was the essence of some of the communication?

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: Does the Taoiseach think it was problematic that Mediaforce was paying for articles which were not being marked as advertorial, sponsored content or something which made clear that it was not editorial, but paid-for content from the Government?

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach does not accept it was a problem that they did not say that they were advertisements or sponsored content. The term, "in partnership with" might be deliberately more vague or it might be accidentally more vague. The Fraser report accepts that these should be clearly marked advertorial in future. Is that not an admission that it was problematic that they were not?

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (29 Mar 2018) Paul Murphy: Let us look at that. The Creative Ireland project directed by John Concannon used Mediaforce and had this problematic media communication, which seems more explicitly problematic than the Ireland 2040 project. We are talking about John Concannon, strategic communications unit, Mediaforce and the media. How did Mediaforce end up giving these directions, which were not clear? Where did they...
