The amount spent by my Department and the Offices of my Department on advertising and promotions in years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and to the end of August 2009 is outlined in the following table.

The increase in expenditure in 2007 over 2006 can be attributed to a campaign for the promotion of Employment Rights compliance. In respect of the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department, I have asked the State Agencies concerned to respond directly to the Deputy with the information requested.
