Belfast Telegraph

February 08, 2008



Fine Gael is calling on the Government to beef up its computer security

systems following revelations that 80 departmental laptops have been

lost or stolen in the past five years.



Reports this morning say 12 laptops have been stolen from the Department

of the Environment, while five have been taken from the Department of

Social and Family Affairs.



Two were stolen from the Taoiseach's office last year and number of

government-controlled websites have also fallen victim to hackers in

recent weeks.



Fine Gael's Damian English says that, while the Government is not

directly to blame, it has to take some steps to prevent more security

breaches.
