The amount expended on advertising and promotion in my Department in 2022 and in January 2023 is as follows:

The 2022 figure includes an amount of €3,718,367.92 relating to the 'Reduce Your Use' energy campaign. 'Reduce Your Use' is a cross-government public information campaign which commenced in April 2022 to help people identify appropriate supports for their needs over the winter period.

The information sought by the Deputy regarding the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. I will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisation.
