No staff from my Department attended the summit (details supplied) in 2017. In 2018, three staff attended the summit, at a cost of €1,700 in total. My Department did not undertake advertising or sponsorship in respect of the summit. Advertising and sponsorship of events is a day to day operational matter for the agencies and not one in which I have a function.
