View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 994 and 995 together.
There are two computers in my Department utilising the operating system the Deputy has enquired about.
These computers are currently carrying out dedicated tasks in relation to the Department's telephone systems. They are not on the Department's network.
These computers will no longer be required to carry out these tasks from January 2020. Therefore support for their specific operating system will no longer be required.
