I propose to take Questions Nos. 919 to 921, inclusive, together.

The Department has 150 computers using the Operating System supplied. The Department is currently working on a project to upgrade all computers from the version of the operating system referred to. All patching for the current operating system is maintained to ensure that no security risks arise.
