Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

245 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the further expenditure he intends to undertake in respect of electronic voting; the total moneys expended to date in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23078/04]

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The cost to date of the electronic voting and counting project is some €51 million. It is not possible at this stage to detail additional costs that may arise in relation to the electronic system; in any event, such costs are likely to be small relative to the capital investment already made.
