The Press and Communications Office of my Department liaise with the media on behalf of the Department as well as all Ministers and do not use the services of a PR company. My Department has not spent any money on public relations or communications consultants between 2009 and 2011. Information in respect of 2012 is not available at this time but will be collated and forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
