124. Deputy Damien English asked the Taoiseach if his Department currently engages in real-time reporting of online conversations on issues relating to his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6605/14]
View answerMy Department does not engage in real time reporting of online conversations on issues relating to it. However, staff in the Government Press Office in my Department as part of their communications duties monitor online news and social media to provide alerts and updates on information relevant to the work of this and all Government Departments. Ordinarily this relates to breaking news and may include commentary on Government initiatives.
