206. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his Department operates an X account (formerly Twitter) or any other social media account, and if such accounts are verified through a subscription fee; the policy in place that guides when any of these accounts can ‘like’, endorse or support a posting on X or other social media platforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Press Office in my department is responsible for the management of departmental social media accounts on the following platforms:

  • X
  • LinkedIn
  • YouTube
  • Instagram (not currently active)
My department does not pay a subscription fee for any of these platforms. There is a departmental social media policy in place that is currently being reviewed. The current policy does not address ‘liking’ by departmental accounts.
