How to use News, Press Releases and Speeches on gov.ie

Published on 25 June 2019

Last updated on 19 March 2021

News stories, press releases and speeches are all separate content types on gov.ie but they share many similarities.

news stories and speeches can include images where necessary
in press releases, any editors' notes must be indicated using Notes as a section heading - this indicates to the media where the news story contained in the press release ends
speeches must include the line Check against delivery. This means that the speech is as written, not as it was actually delivered
if a news story is selected as a featured story on the organisation homepage, it must have a summary box which is effective as a sub-headline on the story
