Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs

The Department of Foreign Affairs operates accounts on X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. None of these accounts are verified through a subscription fee. Operators of these accounts use the Department’s Social Media Handbook as a guide for all social media usage.
