I am advised that since the establishment of the Department in June 2011, my Department has spent €6,383 facilitating departmental members' attendance at social media training conferences and other external events. No expenditure occurred in the years 2011 and 2015.
A breakdown is set out in the following table:
| Year | Type of Event | Title | Number of Staff | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Training Course | Social Media in the Public Sector | 3 | €1,337 |
| 2013 | Conference | Social Media for Consultation | 1 | €433 |
| 2013 | Training Course | Social Media Marketing | 1 | €349 |
| 2014 | Training Course | Social Media Training | 20 | €3,264 |
| 2016 | Training Course | Social Media for Business | 1 | €500 |
| 2017 | Training Course | Social Media for Business | 1 | €500 |
