Minister for Social Protection

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2087 to 2089, inclusive, together.

I can confirm that I do not conduct any Government business using a personal email account. I have been provided with a Departmental email account, which I use for official business.

As the Deputy will be aware, I have Ministerial responsibilities over two Government Departments. In this regard, my Ministerial mobile phone is issued by my other Department, that is, Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.

Question No. 2088 answered with Question No. 2087.

Question No. 2089 answered with Question No. 2087.
