Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs

My Department uses a variety of telecommunications channels to deliver its services. Of the channels mentioned, it uses:

- 6 ISDN lines for public facing telephone communications

- 1 'fractional' ISDN line and 28 PSTN lines for building utilities.

My Department no longer uses copper leased lines.
