Ceist:

229 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development the status of contingency plans in relation to the Y2K computer problems in the event of a systems failure in his Department and all agencies under his aegis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25441/99]

The Year 2000 business contingency and staff cover plan of my Department has been approved by Government. All the State agencies under the aegis of my Department have achieved full compliance and have addressed Year 2000 contingency issues. My Department's computer operating systems, application systems and hardware have been tested and are Year 2000 compliant. Contingency plans are in place for the actual change over date to ensure that systems continue to function in the event of problems arising.
