CRO Social Media Policy

If you follow the CRO’s X (formerly Twitter) profile (@cro_ie), you can expect:

• News stories and press releases
• Alerts about new content on the CRO’s website
• Important information and reminders in the CRO calendar
• Other content deemed as appropriate

 
Following and Retweets
If you follow the CRO on X, it does not mean we will necessarily follow you back. Any follow by the CRO does not imply any endorsement of any kind. Retweets also do not equal endorsement.

Messages and Direct Messages
We welcome feedback from our followers and will try to join the conversation where possible. However, we may not be able to reply individually to all the messages we receive. The best means of communicating a query to us is by using the Contact Us section of the CRO website.

Availability
We update and monitor our X profile during normal office hours Monday to Friday. We will also update and monitor the profile outside of these hours at our own discretion.

X may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service during periods of downtime.
