Introduction
Click on Government Departments to get a list of all the Government departments. This allows you to enter the website of a specific Government department (e.g. in relation to farming, you click on the Department of Agriculture and Food).
If you need any more details about the content of these links the Help section provides a very easy-to-follow overview of the services and information available to you.
If you do not know the exact URL or you are unsure as to which Department to obtain the information from, you can use the ‘Quicksearch’ function on the Irish Government web portal (www.irlgov.ie). You can type in a range of keywords to reach the site you need.
