* This is a contract for an integrated service, which includes amongst other things line rentals, server maintenance and hosting, and it would be impractical to analyse the separate parts as it was tendered as a package and not on the basis of individual items.
For the sake of completeness, I should also mention two online databases that are being developed, hosted and maintained by Fiontar (DCU) on behalf of my Department and Foras na Gaeilge: - the database of Ireland's placenames, www.logainm.ie, which was developed by Fiontar and the Placenames Branch of my Department, is a public resource for Irish people at home and abroad and for all those who appreciate the rich heritage of Irish placenames; and - the www.focal.ie site is the National Terminology Database for Irish, which was developed also by Fiontar on behalf of Foras na Gaeilge.
