1376. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the investment in his Department’s website since 2011, including total associated costs incurred; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46023/17]
View answerThe current Department of Defence website (defence.ie) was developed in the early 2000s and the content is updated in-house on a regular basis; there has been no investment in the Department's website since 2011. A project is currently ongoing to replace three of the Department’s websites which includes the main website (www.defence.ie ), the website of the Office of Emergency Planning ( www.emergencyplanning.ie ) and the website for the Be Winter Ready campaign (www.winterready.ie ). It is anticipated that all three websites will be live by the end of 2017. The cost of this project to date is €34,507.66. A new Civil Defence ( www.civildefence.ie ) website was developed in December 2014 at a cost of €17,790.
