Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2004
145 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Defence if all public services provided by his Department that are capable of electronic delivery are available electronically through a single point of contact, as was promised in the joint programme; and if not, if he will make a statement or explanation in respect of each service not yet so provided. [17557/04]
View answerThe electronic delivery of services through a single point of contact is being progressed through the framework of the Public Services Broker. The responsibility for its design and development lies with the Reach agency, which reports to the Department of Social and Family Affairs. My Department is actively involved in the eGovernment programme, with particular emphasis on eProcurement as a major commercial activity. Tenders are regularly posted on the government e-tenders portal. The primary public service is the provision of comprehensive organisational information, contact points and Freedom of Information e-mail facilities, all of which are available on the Department's website.
