My Department contributed to one Newspaper supplement over the past 12 months at a cost of €48,400 including VAT. The publication entitled "A-Z of Agri-Food" was published last December and circulated with the Irish Independent. The aim of the publication was to promote Irish food and food businesses at home and abroad. The magazine was also circulated to schools around the country, to Irish Embassies abroad and to trade bodies. Altogether, some 250,000 copies have been circulated.
