Written Answers. - GTN Directory

Joe Jacob

Question:

208 Mr. Jacob asked the Minister for Social Welfare whether his attention has been drawn to the availability throughout the Civil Service and to Members of the Oireachtas of the Government's Telecommunications Network Directory on computer within an on-line Lotus Notes database; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that a large number of the documents contained within this database are now incorrect; the names and contact numbers of the persons in his Department who are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the portion of this database which relates to his Department, both in terms of content and replication to the CMOD master copy of the database; the date on which that portion of the database which relates to his Department was last updated; if he will ensure that the database is accurately maintained in future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6788/97]

I am aware that a Government Telecommunications Network (GTN) Directory is available in electronic and printed format.

A detailed listing of all Department of Social Welfare staff who are contactable on the GTN is given to CMOD on an annual basis for inclusion in their published directory.

This arrangement is working satisfactorily and the Department is not aware of any specific problems of the nature referred to by the Deputy. However, I am arranging for my Department to keep the matter under review with the CMOD of the Department of Finance.
