The Government Press Secretary acts as a spokesperson for me, as Taoiseach, and the Government and is supported by the Assistant Government Press Secretary in coordinating the media relations of all Government Departments. The Government Press Secretary is paid at Assistant Secretary level while the Assistant Government Press Secretary is paid at Principal Officer level.

The Deputy Government Press Secretary - who is also based in my Department and is paid at Principal Officer level - coordinates communications for all the Independents in Government.
