Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 September 2021
86. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he and or his special advisers and or officials use or have used services (details supplied) to communicate in the past 18 months. [43070/21]
View answerOfficials in my Department currently use or have used in the past 18 months the software referred to in the Deputies question for official internal communications. I can confirm that accounts with both services were created on my behalf, to facilitate Green Party rather than Departmental business. The use of one of the specified services pre-dates my appointment as Minister, and I have not used the application for any Department or Government business since my appointment. I can also confirm advisors have used these services for Green Party business.
