My Department did not make any payment to broadcasters in the years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 to date.

In 2015, my Department paid €250,000 to Atomic Advertising ltd in respect of an advertising campaign to raise awareness of a range of government supports for enterprise. These advertisements were carried by a number of broadcasters

Any payments to broadcasters from agencies under the aegis of my Department are a day to day operational matter for the agencies concerned. I have asked the agencies to supply me with details and I will provide these to the Deputy once received.
