Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. D. Ahern)

In common with the websites of other Government Departments, the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs —www.dfa.ie — contains material provided by a wide range of units within the Department. Each unit with material on the website is required to review that material on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. Updates and the addition of new material is carried out as required. All Departmental press releases are posted on the website. Press releases are posted at the same time as they issue by fax and email to media organisations.
