My department and the Dept of Taoiseach currently employ the data analytics platform Matomo for website monitoring. Please find here attached the data requested for both departments for the twelve months from 11 June 2024 to 11 June 2025.Please note – In late 2024 the government analytics provider changed for operational reasons. Therefore the data for the period from 11 June 2024 to 30 November 2024 is from Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The data supplied from 1 December 2024 to 11 June 2025, is from the current provider, Matomo.
