Question 86: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason Kilkenny Garda station does not have access to a computer to examine closed circuit television tape; the reason there is no system for the pubic to e-mail the station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised by the Garda Authorities that a computer to examine closed circuit television tape is allocated to Kilkenny Garda station. The equipment is temporarily on loan elsewhere in the Division at present.

I am also advised by the Garda Authorities that the Garda Síochána Information and Communications Technology Strategy has identified the requirement for enterprise-wide email within An Garda Síochána. The approach to roll-out, which is currently ongoing, is based on operational requirements with facilities currently available to all Gardaí of Superintendent rank and above including the Superintendent at Kilkenny station. Accordingly, the Superintendent in Kilkenny can be contacted by Email.
