My Department has not engaged the services of models for use in any promotional activities, policy launches or other events. Of the four agencies under the aegis of my Department, the Combat Poverty Agency, Comhairle and the Family Support Agency have never engaged the services of models for promotional activities or any other such events. The Pensions Board has used models in promotional activities to enhance the effectiveness of the national pensions awareness campaign. The total amount spent on such activities since 1997 is €3,950.
