The Taoiseach

I propose to take Questions Nos. 110 and 111 together.

No training has been delivered in my Department on the use of social media and no media training on the use of social media has been provided to me or officials in my Department. My Department did, however, recently run a training session on Mobile Journalism which was attended by officials from other Government Departments.
