The websites run by my Department are set out on the following tabular statement.
In relation to websites run by the agencies, these websites are a vital tool for all agencies in providing information to their clients and to the wider public. The establishment and running of such sites is a day-to-day operational matter for the agencies concerned and one in which I have no function.
