I propose to take Questions Nos. 365, 363 and 364 together.

Corporately, my Department uses five social media accounts. In addition, there are approximately a further 40 social media accounts operated locally in my Department in areas such as our six National Parks; the LIFE Programme; National Inventory of Archaeological heritage; National Monument Service; Marine Planning Ireland and Fire Safety Ireland. Given the number of these accounts, the compilation of the information requested would involve an inordinate amount of staff time and cost, thus, for the purposes of responding to the Question, the information provided will relate only to the social media accounts of the Department itself, and not accounts operated locally. This information is currently being collated and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

The information requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out in the following table:
