I refer the Deputy to Dáil Question No. 459 which I replied to on 29th March 2018.

I am advised that since the establishment of the Department in June 2011, my Department has spent €5,883 on social media training for staff. A breakdown is supplied in the following table. No expenditure occurred in the years 2011 and 2015.

2013Social Media for Consultation€433
2013Social Media Marketing€349
2014Social Media Training€3,264
2016Social Media for Business€500

I am further advised that, while my Department does not engage social media consultants, it has engaged third party service providers to assist with the provision of social media content and a range of other services for the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme and the Creative Ireland Programme.
