I propose to take Questions Nos. 209 and 210 together.

The table below outlines the spend by my Department on marketing and media in the years 2016, 2017 and to date in 2018. The figures include, for example, awareness campaigns in relation to MyGovID and the work of the Office of Government Procurement which is part of the Department. At present, there are no figures available for the projected spend on marketing and media in 2019.
