The Taoiseach indicated the purpose of the website is to provide more information to citizens. Why would a citizen looking for Government information do a Google search for www.merrionstreet.ie? Where did the name come from and what was the idea behind it? If a citizen wants to find out what the Government is doing and does not know which site to visit, I would think that person would look for the Government website and be directed to it. The Taoiseach will appreciate there is a distinction between information and propaganda. This is a propaganda site.
