Written answers

Recently the company that supplies my Department and the national cultural institutions land line telecommunications services announced an increase in the cost of rented telephone lines of 7.5%. It applies to analogue telephone lines and not the PABX lines that cater for most of my Department's telephones. I estimate that my Department's additional monthly costs will be in the region of €330. My Department is monitoring telephone usage with a view to reducing the number of analogue telephone lines.
