Question to the First and deputy First Minister's

Minister's Answer

Photography is an essential part of government and ministerial communications. Photographs taken during a series of events to mark St Patrick’s Week in Washington D.C. were distributed via the department’s social media channels and to media via press releases. Once published, they are in the public domain.

As with all ministerial engagements, photographs taken during the series of events in Washington D.C. are held by the department and may be used for future communication purposes.
