Written answers

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation supports the social media messages of other Government Departments and Agencies as appropriate.

The Department takes the lead for the development of its own social media content, which is usually drafted between individual policy units and the Department's communications unit.
