The details requested by Deputy McManus in relation to the Department's websites are provided in the table below:
| Website Name | Annual cost (ex vat) for each site in 2010 | Total unique average monthly visitors 2010 |

In relation to agencies under the aegis of my Department, the number of websites and their cost of maintenance is an operational matter for the agencies themselves.
*Figures are not readily available for 2010, however as part of my Department's shared services solution we have taken responsibility for the maintenance and support of these three sites in 2011 and will be able to provide such statistics going forward.
