What does website maintenance actually involve in Ireland?

At minimum it means keeping the platform, plugins and security patches current, monitoring uptime and backing the site up regularly enough that a failure does not mean starting again from nothing, plus renewing the domain and SSL certificate before they lapse. Beyond that baseline, maintenance can include content updates, small design changes and performance monitoring, and what is included varies significantly between suppliers, which is why the monthly fee alone tells you very little without knowing the scope behind it.

How do you know if a maintenance plan is worth what you are paying?

Ask exactly what is checked and how often, whether backups are tested for restoration rather than just taken and stored, who owns the domain and hosting account, and what happens if you want to move to another provider. A maintenance plan that leaves the domain or hosting in the agency's name rather than yours is a warning sign regardless of the monthly price, because it makes leaving difficult by design rather than by accident. The honest baseline cost for basic maintenance on a small site is modest; a much higher fee should buy genuinely more attention, not just a bigger invoice for the same checklist.
