Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 March 2012
346 Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of laptops in use in her Department; the number of tablets in use in her Department; the number of the laptops in use that are due to be upgraded this year. [17579/12]
View answerThere are in total 535 laptops deployed across the Department and there are no specific plans to upgrade any laptops this year.
No tablets have been purchased by the Department for production use, however a small number of devices are being evaluated at present in the context of increased requirements for mobile working. In addition, some staff have been authorised, subject to appropriate security clearance, to use their own tablet devices.
