I have set out the details of the digital marketing agency and the costs incurred by my Department in relation to the Be Winter Ready campaign in the table below. There was no expenditure in this regard in 2011, 2012 or 2013, nor was there any expenditure to date in 2019, as the campaign is carried out in the last quarter of the year.

The advertisements were targeted at the general public within Ireland and the purpose of these advertisements was to inform the public of the annual ‘Be Winter Ready’ campaigns on behalf of the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning. The costs incurred did not relate to policy initiatives.
