I propose to take Questions Nos. 210 and 211 together.

I understand that agencies under the aegis of my Department are expected to spend of the order of €525,000 on advertising campaigns in 2008. My Department does not routinely compile or hold data in relation to advertising campaigns for bodies under its aegis and the information sought for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 is not available.
