Minister for Communications Noel Dempsey today announced a new website carrying information on the boards and agencies covered by his department.

The egovernance.ie site contains details of board members, information on vacancies and the terms of the boards' appointment.

"Although some of the information contained on the new egovernance site is already available to the public, gathering it all together would involve a detailed trawl through many information sources," he said. "This can often lead to citizens seeing Government as complex and unconnected.

Mr Dempsey said he will be working to encourage all Government departments to bring their agencies on board the egovernance project.

"This new website is, I hope, just one step along a road that will ultimately create a Government that is more responsive to the needs of its citizens," he said.
