My Department's website is part of the gov.ie platform, which is the portal for government services and information. The Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), a division of the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, hosts and manages the gov.ie platform. All information provided on Gov.ie is intended for public consumption.

My Department does not directly employ website analytics tool, but is able to access those set up by the OGCIO, to track the performance of the Department's website on gov.ie. In late 2024, the government analytics provider changed for operational reasons.

The table below provides details of visits to my Department's website where identifiers indicating traffic from ChatGPT were recorded.
