1076. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Health if he, his Ministers of State and or advisers have ever used private email for any form of official Government use since the formation of the Government; and if so, if he will publish all such emails and corresponding documents immediately.

Amharc ar fhreagraAll users on my Department's network must adhere to the ICT acceptable usage policy document which states that “As there is no way of filtering the messages relayed by these providers, they pose a potential security threat. Users may not transmit sensitive or classified information using any 3rd party e-mail services.”
Access to such webmail services is blocked from within the Department’s network. I can confirm therefore that neither I, any of the Ministers of State assigned to my Department, nor the advisers have used private email for official Government use.
