I am advised by the Garda authorities that the Garda Síochána Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strategy, identifies the requirement for an enterprise-wide email system within An Garda Síochána. The rollout, which is currently ongoing, provides facilities to all Gardaí from Superintendent rank and above. Access is also provided to other individual members of An Garda Síochána based on operational needs.

The ICT strategy identifies a range of projects and systems,overall implementation of which will depend on a number of factors including overall priorities agreed by the Garda Authorities.
