I propose to take Questions Nos. 346 and 347 together.

My Department has not engaged in any campaigns of the nature referred to by the Deputy during the first six months of 2009. It is not feasible within the timeframe provided to readily compile the wide data sought by the Deputy in relation to advertising campaigns carried out or undertaken by the bodies that come within the ambit of my Department. Accordingly, I am arranging for the material to be compiled by my Department and provided directly to the Deputy.
