: The annual cost of taxis for delivery of computer tapes from the Dundrum computer centre to various offices is about £2,200.
Taxis are used for the service mentioned when delivery is urgently required and the Department's own delivery services are not available.
The cost of providing a comprehensive Departmental service to meet all delivery requirements of the computer centre would not be warranted.
