Carol Nolan

Question:

193. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Finance if his Department operates an X account (formerly Twitter) or any other social media account, and if such accounts are verified through a subscription fee; the policy in place that guides when any of these accounts can ‘like’, endorse or support a posting on X or other social media platforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53654/23]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

The Department of Finance has active accounts for both LinkedIn and X which are used for official Department publications and press releases. No subscription fees are paid for these accounts and the policy for their use is purely for amplifying official Department of Finance messaging and not endorsing other users activity on social media.
