Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs

Cloud migration is an important feature of my Department’s Digital Transformation Strategy. My Department substantially avails of ‘build to share’ services delivered by the OGCIO Government cloud. Only a very small number of systems are delivered using a cloud platform..

There are no agencies or subsidiaries under the remit of my Department.
