Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

As set out in my Department's internal ICT Usage Policy, Ministers and staff in my Department are provided with email accounts for official use. It is the practice that communication of Departmental issues be conducted through Departmental email accounts and not through private email.
