In the context of the commitment in the Programme for Government, my Department is working with local authorities in developing options for the enhancement of the arrangements and applications in place which facilitate citizens in making complaints or suggestions or in reporting problems through the various mediums, including by post, phone, text, fax, e-mail and on-line through their websites. Local authorities have a range of web-based customer service arrangements. Further developments in this regard and in the context of the Programme for Government are being advanced. The question of an appropriate domain name does not arise at this stage.
