Written answers

Minister for Transport

My Department has not engaged any social media influencers and online personalities, television and or radio personalities in 2021, 2022 or to date in 2023.

The information requested by the deputy in relation to a schedule of social media influencers etc, which operate under the remit of my department is more appropriate to the state bodies concerned and is not held within my Department.

Accordingly, I have asked the agencies under my department’s remit to respond to you directly. If you do not hear from them within 10 working days, please advise my private office.
