Question:

190 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the agencies under the auspices of his Department which have declared themselves to be year 2000 compliant; the agencies, if any, yet to make such a declaration; when he expects such a declaration, if any, to be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10419/99]

Minister for Education and Science (Mr. Martin):

Year 2000 status reports are sought every two months by my Department from 61 bodies under its aegis. These reports provide self-assessments of progress towards year 2000 compliance.

To date, one body Gaisce, has declared itself to be year 2000 compliant. My Department is in the process of obtaining expected compliance dates for all of the other bodies.
