Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

The number of hits received by my Department's website for the year 2001 are as follows:

January	48,585
February	33,158
March	Not available
April	69,609
May	69,857
June	67,784
July	Not available
August	68,299
September	55,309

There were no maintenance charges relating to the website in 2001 and the site was updated on a part-time basis by one member of staff within my Department. Considerable work has been carried out in my Department in recent months on the creation of an expanded and updated website, which I expect to be launched very shortly.
