Advertising undertaken by the Department involves a number of categories including statutory obligations, procurement, specialist services and regionally focussed initiatives. In this regard the Department places advertisements in line with requirements and value for money considerations. The media outlet referred to by the Deputy will be considered for advertising campaigns in line with existing procedures as regards appropriateness, target audience and value for money.

At present my Department is involved in one national promotion relating to the Power of One Energy Efficiency campaign. Advertisements and promotional activities for this campaign are managed by the consultant engaged by the Department for that programme. I have requested that the contact details for the radio station in question are passed to the consultant.
