Where is it necessary for the Department to place advertisements, generally in relation to health promotion messages, they are done through a media or PR company rather than the broadcaster itself. However, I will survey the Department to ascertain if any payments were made to any broadcasters during the years in question and revert to you in due course.

I have also forwarded your question on to the HSE for direct reply. Details for other bodies under the aegis of the Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
