alerts about new content on our website and links to official publications relating to the work of the Department example CSO, Central Bank of Ireland, NTMA publications etc will be announced via Twitter
retweets of third party accounts are not endorsements of an opinion or comment.
the official account will follow other government agencies and accounts followed by the Department of Finance target audience. If you follow us we don’t necessarily follow you
the account will attempt to provide a “behind the scenes” look at the Department of Finance and create a greater awareness of the work of the department
failure to engage should not be viewed as a refusal to comment on a particular issue. The Department of Finance also takes no responsibility for any breakdown in the Twitter system
