My Department had no spend on advertising in 2013. With regard to the bodies under my Department's aegis, there was no spend by the Adoption authority of Ireland; the Family Support Agency and the National Educational Welfare Board. The Ombudsman for Children is an independent officer of the State and any such spend is a matter for the Ombudsman for Children. I will forward the Deputy's request to that body for direct response.
