Amharc ar fhreagraThe structure of the website of my Department is unchanged since the establishment of the Department in June 2011. As required new sections may be added to the website to reflect policy developments.
I am aware of existing websites, www.gov.ie via which the websites of Government Departments and related bodies may be accessed, and the State's Open Data portal www.data.gov.ie. In relation to the latter, my Department is involved in the State's Open Data Strategy 2017 - 2022, which is led by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform; which aims to improve the quality, quantity and range of datasets available, and improve the range of services available, on the national Open Data portal.
