The information requested by the Deputy in relation to costs incurred by my Department and the bodies under its aegis on the National Ploughing Championships since 2016 are set out in the table.
The Office of Public Works is currently collating material for this PQ and will respond directly to the Deputy once finalised.
| Department of Public Expenditure and Reform | Advertising (offline) | Promotional Material | Stand Rental | Other Costs | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | - | €6,214.37 | - | €4,650.38 | €10,864.75 |
| 2018 | - | €1,195.00 | - | €713.34 | €1,908.34 |
| 2016* | €270.51 | - | €1,643.90 | €1,742.25 | €3,656.66 |
| Bodies under the aegis: Public Appointments Service | |||||
| 2017 | - | - | €1,400.00 | €3,600.00 | €5,000.00 |
In terms of wages, the small number of staff involved in managing a presence at the National Ploughing Championships do so as part of their normal duties.
