My Department's website was last redesigned and redeveloped in 2008/2009.  That project included the implementation of a new content management system to better organise and manage the information available on the website. The full cost of the implementation project including the content management system and post-implementation support for 3 years was €279,821.  

My Department has been consulted at a high level regarding plans to create a standalone governmental portal and has paused planned further development of our websites pending further information.
