Question:

283 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the position regarding the establishment of open-source centres of excellence here; the locations chosen; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8820/06]

Written answers

Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. N. Dempsey)

I understand the Deputy is referring to open-source software. I am not aware of such an initiative. However, in the context of the public service any such initiative would be a matter for my colleague the Minister for Finance in the first instance.
