I propose to take Questions Nos. 189 and 190 together.

The relevant bodies within the remit of my Department are the Civil Defence Board, the Board of Coiste an Asgard, the Central Council of the Irish Red Cross and the Army Pensions Board. I wish to state that there have been no advertising campaigns to promote policies or programmes being implemented by those bodies or by my Department in the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and to date in 2008 nor do I envisage any such advertising campaigns for the remainder of 2008.
