Hugh O'Connell, political correspondent with The Sunday Times, is to be appointed deputy government press secretary. This appointment was made following the recent formation of the government.

He has previously worked with The Journal, Business Post, Irish Independent, and Sunday Independent. He is also the co-author of "Pandemonium," on the State response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
