Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Under FOI law, I would like records of minutes, correspondence and applications relating to the decision by the DFA to award media organisations finance under the Media Challenge Fund. I would like records of assessments of applications by the Expert Advisory Panel and any correspondence relating to the decisions to award funding to RTE, Virgin, The Journal, Reach Media, the Business Post, Bauer and the Irish Examiner. I would also like any records relating to assessments of journalistic output produced with support of this funding so far or any assessment of how the funding has been used to date.
