My Department spent €27,122 on social media advertising between the beginning of January 2021 and 12th June 2021. This includes expenditure on a number of awareness raising campaigns including Brexit, the National Minimum Wage and Covid 19 related communications.

With regard to the spend by the state agencies under the remit of my Department, these are operational matters for those agencies and I do not have any direct function in these matters. However, I have asked the state agencies under the remit of my Department to provide the requested information to me and I will forward this to the Deputy once received.
