I propose to take Questions Nos. 366 and 367 together.

The relevant bodies within the remit of my Department are the Civil Defence Board, the Board of Coiste an Asgard and the Army Pensions Board. No advertising campaigns to promote the policies or programmes of these bodies or of my Department have been carried out during the first six months of 2009.
