Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 October 2022
51. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the number and cost of each website that falls under his remit; the number of unique visitors per month to each website; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48714/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s digital content migrated to a central platform, gov.ie, in September 2020. As users, my officials receive monthly analytics reports from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), who have responsibility for the platform and its operations. My Department is not liable for any costs related to the operation of gov.ie. Across 2022, our average number of unique visitors, by month, was 108,968. Details of costs related to other websites maintained by my Department are currently being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. My Department will request the relevant agencies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
