Vol. 503 No. 4
98 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Defence 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. [10410/99]
A comprehensive programme to ensure year 2000 compliance is nearing completion in the defence area. The target date for achieving compliance for the Department's systems is 31 July 1999. That is also the target date for achieving compliance for most of the Defence Forces' critical systems.
All remaining Defence Forces' systems are targeted to be made compliant on various dates after 31 July, with the compliance programme due to be fully completed before 1 January 2000.
