The Department is committed to increasing the use of information and electronic technologies including the computerisation of payments and information databases. In addition, our quality customer service action plan includes commitments to include an e-mail address on all correspondence that we issue and ensure that all staff are allocated an e-mail address. We are also committed to ensuring that as many departmental publications as possible are available in electronic and printed formats and to providing and regularly updating information on the Department via the Internet, our Website, which may be accessed at "http://www. irlgov. ie".
