The total cost of all media advertising in my Department is detailed in the following table. I would note that my Department was only established in June 2011 and therefore the information relates to expenditure from that date. In respect of the use of media I can confirm that expenditure extended to the use of both local media as well national media over the period covered and included a spread of spending across a range of regional media outlets.
