My Department has not incurred any expenditure on advertising in relation to COVID-19 related matters.

In 2020, my Department spent €192,907 on awareness-raising public information material as part of the Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This expenditure related to the design and translation of the Community Call national leaflet into a number of languages and also included the production of Braille and Irish Sign Language versions of this leaflet.

This expenditure also included procurement of the graphic design of the COVID-19 Guide for the Bereaved (available on gov.ie).
