I am advised by my Department that no payments were made for public relations or communications services last year and that no costs have occurred to date in 2014 or are estimated to occur for the remainder of the year. With regard to bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group, the Deputy will appreciate that the matters raised are part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies in question. I am arranging, therefore, for the terms of the Deputy’s Question to be transmitted to the heads of relevant bodies with a request that they provide information, to the extent feasible, directly to the Deputy.
