My Department engages in advertising and public awareness campaigns for the promotion of Ireland around the world, and in cases where there is a need to bring important information to the attention of citizens.

Some examples of these campaigns include: the Online Passport Renewals Service, the “Getting Ireland Brexit Ready” campaign, public information on travel restrictions due to COVID-19, and the Global Ireland initiative, which promotes Ireland as a good country in which to invest, study, visit, and trade with.

An overview of advertising and public awareness campaign spending on an annual basis is laid out in the table below.
