374. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development to clarify whether at any point over the past ten years the SSL certificates for her Department’s websites expired for a period of time; if so, the reason this occurred; and the duration they remained expired. [33279/23]

My Department's ICT managed service is provided by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform through the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO).

The use of SSL certificates on my Department's websites is strictly monitored by both my Department and the OGCIO. The SSL certificates for my Department’s websites are fully up to date and I understand that there has been no incidence of expired SSL certificates in use.

In addition, the Tidytowns website is managed separately on behalf of my Department and I understand that no issue has arisen in respect of the expiry of SSL certification.
