The national Open Data Portal (data.gov.ie) currently contains 418 datasets from 45 public bodies. It is an alpha site, but an important first step. The next steps to further develop it will be considered in tandem with experts in the public sector and the wider public. Going forward, the Minister would encourage public bodies to publish datasets on this portal.
