Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach

9:00 am

Mr. Martin Fraser:

Yes it is live. My colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform are mainly running it and the strategic communications unit, SCU. The SCU will not do it anymore because we had to give the money back but we will still work on it. Gov.ie is supposed to be a single portal. It is live and it is being used for various things. I think it was used for Storm Emma, or Storm Ophelia, for example. It is used for lots of things.
