Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

In the context of the review of information society policy, will the Minister of State say whether the Government is reassessing any of the benchmarks as regards the number of citizens with access to home computers and the usage of Government services available through the Internet? Can he supply figures on the current rates of usage and what the Government predicts such rates will be over a five-year period? Is the review heading in a particular direction?
