Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Social media is one of the channels my Department uses to provide information about our wide range of schemes, services and policies.

The Department operates YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and X (formally Twitter) accounts. The Department does not pay subscription fees in respect of these accounts.
