My Department is committed to the open publication of government information.

As the Deputy will be aware, the gov.ie website is the key source of information on government and public services. I wish to inform the Deputy that the Gov.ie website underwent a major system upgrade in April 2025 with 183,707 pages migrated, along with 9,737 images and 133,925 documents including those for my Department. In a mass movement of web content, it is inevitable that some broken links will occur and that these will take time to identify and resolve. An audit conducted post-migration revealed less than 1% of all pages were affected by broken links. Any broken links were replaced with placeholder text, “Item has been unpublished or removed”, rather than returning an error. Resolution of this technical issue is ongoing by my Department, together with the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO).

Pending full resolution of this issue, if the Deputy or indeed any member of the public requires access to a particular document that is affected by this issue, they are welcome to contact my Department.
