My Department maintains the 12 websites that are listed below. Apart from the main Departmental website it is necessary in the interests of customer service to have some dedicated websites related to specific areas of Departmental responsibility. The total cost of maintaining these websites including technical maintenance, ongoing development, and hosting charges was €178,000 in 2009. The number and maintenance cost of websites operated by the agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day-to-day operational matter for each agency. I have no direct function in this matter.
