Question 146: To ask the Minister for Transport if he uses video conferencing technology in order to reduce the amount of travel taken to attend meetings; if his Department has video conferencing facilities available to staff in each Departmental building; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Video conferencing facilities are only available in one of the buildings used by my Department in Lesson Lane, Dublin 2. I have not had occasion to use this facility but I am open to doing so should an instance warrant its use. The extension of such facilities to other Departmental buildings can be considered on a case-by-case basis having regard to the availability of resources and the existence of a sound economic justification for the installation of such facilities.
