1205.

Written answers

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

I understand that my Department has a small number of machines operating on the operating system to which the Deputy refers. All such machines will be replaced or upgraded over the coming weeks.

My Department will not be required to pay additional premium payments while these machines are being replaced.
