I can inform the Deputy that the telecommunication needs of my Department are attached to a central government contract which was placed with Eircom/Vodafone by the Department of Finance. During the period 1 January 2002 to 31 October 2002, the highest percentage of my Department's telecommunica tions costs was paid to Eircom, at 85.6% of the total.
