76 Dr. Upton asked the Taoiseach the number of personal computers discarded or disposed of by his Department in 1999 or the latest period for which figures are available. [5433/00]
A total of 40 personal computers were disposed of by my Department during 1999. These had a zero book value and were disposed of to staff for a nominal cost. A further 40 personal computers were made available for disposal in mid-January this year, and most of these have now been distributed free to charitable-educational organisations.
