Question:653 Mr. M. Kitt asked the Minister for Education and Science the areas of his Department that use answering machines; the savings involved in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8742/98]
Written Answers. - Departmental Technology.
All areas of my Department have access to my Department's voice mail facility which has replaced the traditional answering machines.
However, my Department provides a very small number of answering machines for use by inspectors who are based at home. Because there are so few answering machines in use the savings are negligible.
