The recent phone line rental increases will result in an immediate additional cost for my Department of around €400 per month. However, it is not expected that these increases will have a significant long term impact on the Department's telecommunications expenditure, as officials had already been examining the greater use of alternative and more economic means for connecting to the public switch network in the context of the Government virtual private network.
