Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

There is one Press Officer employed in my Department at an annual salary cost of €72,386. Information in respect of bodies and agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day to day matter for those organisations and my Department does not have the information sought by the Deputy.
