477 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for Transport the number and cost of each website that falls under his remit; the number of unique visitors per month to each website; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48212/10]

Details of publicly facing websites provided by my Department, approximate annual costs and averaged amount of unique site visits per month can be found in the table below.

In 2010 the motortax.ie site processed 2 million applications and collected over €438 million. This represents almost 43% of overall motor tax receipts

The figure for unique visits per month for transport.ie refers to January to October 2010. During the severe weather in November 2010 this figure was over 62,000 and in December 2010 climbed to just over 133,000.

In 2010 bikeweek.ie was upgraded to enable event organisers submit details of some 400 events directly to the site and allow management of the Bike Week Facebook page which has attracted over 1,200 followers.
