23 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Taoiseach the number of people who will have access to the secure intranet which is being developed for the Government secretariat; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17403/99]
The intranet for the Government secretariat will enable Ministers' offices to establish an electronic link with the secretariat. The first issue, which is being addressed at present, is to identify the appropriate electronic security to safeguard documents being transmitted electronically. These security features will in turn determine the computer and communications infrastructure on which the intranet will be based.
