This question was answered on 2nd September 2024
The Northern Ireland Office invites a wide range of news outlets to its departmental press conferences.
During press conferences, as many news outlets as possible are given an opportunity to ask a question. However, it is not always possible for every media outlet to ask a question due to time constraints.
News outlets can pose questions at any time to the department’s press office.
