My Department have not incurred any expenditure on external public relations or communications consultants in 2013 or to date in 2014. The Defence Forces engaged the services of one external communications company, The Communications Clinic, to provide training in 2013. The cost of the training was €875.

Neither my Department nor the Defence Forces anticipate any expenditure on external public relations or communications consultants in 2014.
