I wish to inform the Deputy that there are no staff in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform employed to work on marketing, media and social media.

There are currently 3 members of staff in the Press Office and managing the Department’s social media presence is a part of their work. In addition, one of my Special Advisers, Deborah Sweeney, provides press and media advice as part of her role.
