Joe Jacob

Question:

49 Mr. Jacob asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs 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. [6784/97]

The computer based GTN directory referred to by the Deputy is available on a limited basis within my Department. Details for the GTN directory were supplied to CMOD at its request at the time the database was established in 1995. My Department is in ongoing discussions with CMOD on the technical aspects of the issue.
