The Deputy will wish to be aware that access for all staff to web based emails is restricted by security infrastructure deployed by the Department of Justice and Equality. The Department provides a secure remote access service to staff who require access to Departmental emails and other applications outside of work hours. I use my Departmental email address to conduct official business related to my role. I also operate an Oireachtas email account which is primarily used by my constituency office. Like most people, I also have a personal email address and have, on very rare occasions, used this address in relation to my role.
