Press and Information Officers of All Government Departments
The Government Information Services (GIS) is a network of the information offices of all Government Departments. These offices provide a comprehensive information service to the national and international media and the public in relation to the functions and services of their Departments. Enquiries into these functions and services are handled by each individual office. The telephone numbers of these Departments are available in the green pages of the National Telephone Directories.
The GIS is frequently asked for information on various aspects of Ireland, general history, how government works, the economy etc. We hope these links to areas of interest will be helpful.
