I propose to take Questions Nos. 929 and 930 together.

Since my Department’s establishment in July 2017 it has incurred the type of expenditure referred to by the Deputy on only 3 occasions. Each of these were events that were broadcast live. The services were procured on a once-off basis each time. There has been no other expenditure relating to the areas highlighted by the Deputy.
