All expenditure incurred by my Department on COVID-19 communications was funded from the original budgetary allocation my Department received for Advertising and Information Resources. It is from this budgetary sub-head that all communications related expenditure is made.

As part of the broader Government’s COVID-19 Communications campaign, my Department promoted COVID-19 supports for business, and raised awareness around the Return to Work Safely Protocolas well as the safe reopening of the retail sector through a Shop Safelycampaign.

The total expenditure incurred by my Department on the Covid-19 communications strategy since the beginning of the pandemic is €7,466.16.
