I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department did not award a contract for Public Relations and Communications Consultancy in 2024.

As regards the 13 State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
