The Government Information Service, GIS, includes the Government Press Office and the MerrionStreet.ie content team and works on a cross-functional and collaborative basis to provide the Taoiseach, the Government and the Department with press office and communications support; to ensure strong collaboration and co-ordination among press and communications officials in other Departments and agencies; to co-ordinate, support, amplify and create communications around key Government priorities, such as Housing for All, climate action and energy, Ukraine, the shared island, Brexit, Covid-19 and the national well-being framework; to lead the development of Government communications, support and encourage capacity-building in the area of communications and engagement across the civil and public services, and to manage the Government of Ireland identity and unified web presence, www.gov.ie.
