Commenting on the site, NIO Minister, Ian Pearson, MP, said: "OnlineNI is a user friendly, citizen focused website giving easy access to government and public services and information. Our involvement at the Balmoral Show is just too good an opportunity for us to miss to obtain the sort of feedback that is an essential element in keeping the site useful and relevant.
"Over the three days of the show thousands of people from all walks of life in Northern Ireland will make their way through the exhibits and we want to see as many of them as possible visit the OnlineNI stand. I am confident that they will be impressed by what they see, but would be equally sure that with their help we can make the site even better."
