Question 689: To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of laptops in use in his Department; the number of tablets in use in his Department; the number of the laptops in use that are due to be upgraded this year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17581/12]

The information sought is set out in the following Table:
| Number of laptops in use in Department | 88 |
| Number of tablets in use in Department | 2 |
| Number of the laptops in use that are due to be upgraded in 2012 | 45 |
A number of Field Officers in this Department rely heavily on the use of laptops while working out of the office. It is this Departments policy to replace laptops at end of life. The laptops to be upgraded this year are no longer fit for the purpose for which they were originally obtained.
