The expenditure on advertising and promotions by the Department, including the National Archives, in the years 2004 to 2008, inclusive, and to date in 2009 is as set out in tabular form below.

Expenditures by the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland are included in the figures for 2004 and 2005, as both organisations formed part of the Department until they were established as separate corporate entities in May 2005. Moreover, some of the above figures do not include the very minor expenses payable to the Office of Public Works for placing notices in Iris Oifigiúil. The commissioning of advertising and promotions by the agencies under the aegis of the Department is a matter for the agencies themselves.
