The cumulative value of advertising placed by my Department in print media in each of the years since 2002 was as follows:

2007 — to end October €655,000

2006 — €800,000

2005 — €504,000

2004 — €790,000

2003 — €416,000

2002 — €1,007,000

A breakdown of the type of advertising placed is not readily available in my Department. Additionally my Department spent the following sums on media services which principally relate to expenditure on electronic press clipping services and news alerts.

2007 — to end October €54,000

2006 — €44,000

2005 — €64,000

In the timeframe available my Department is unable to provide a breakdown of expenditure on promotional videos or for expenditure figures for media services for years prior to 2005.
