There was a slight drop in the registration of .ie websites in Galway last year.
A report from the official registry of .ie domain names shows there were 2,227 registrations in Galway last year.
It's a minor drop of two and a half percent on 2023, which is higher than the national average of just half of one percent.
The registry says new websites can be taken as a measure of digital development and new economic activity in any given area.
Overall, .ie websites now account for 54 percent of Ireland hosted domains, followed by .com at 29 percent.
