Vorgesehen war eine landesweite Ausstattung mit elektronischen Wahlgeräten von Nedap/Powervote. John Gormley, Minister für Umwelt und kommunale Angelegenheiten, erklärte, die Regierung werde nun mit dem Hersteller in Kontakt treten, um die Vereinbarung zu beenden und die Geräte zu entsorgen.

  • Picking PEPPOL: Ireland, EInvoicing And Technology In Public Works

    On 18 January 2018 last, Patrick O'Donovan TD, Minister of State with Responsibility for Public Procurement officially signed Ireland up as an Authority Member of OpenPEPPOL, the international association with responsibility for maintaining PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online), a network operating in the sphere of e-procurement and e-invoicing.

    This follows on from the launch late last year of the government's plans to increase the use of digital technology, such as business information modelling ("BIM"), in key public works contracts. As part of these plans, public bodies will establish requirements for the use of BIM in the construction and operation of public infrastructure over the next four years. Both of these initiatives compliment the government's 'eGovernment Strategy 2017-2020', published in July 2017, which sets out ten key actions for Ireland to become a leader in digital government services, including facilitating secure online identification, improving underlying infrastructure and providing appropriate skilling.

  • PSB delay stalls Irish e-gov: report

    The roll out of e-government in Ireland reached a plateau in 2003, according to a new report.

    The delay in the establishment of a central Public Service Broker (PSB), the centerpiece to Ireland's e-government strategy, has slowed the growth of e-government in Republic, according to management consultancy and technology services company Accenture. Once this fundamental enabler is in place, growth could take off once again, said the firm's fifth annual e-government report.

  • Reports rates Irish e-gov as 'average'

    According to a new report, Ireland is a follower rather than a leader when it comes to e-government.

    Accenture's sixth annual global e-Government survey shows that Ireland came in at 14th place along with five other nations. This places the country in the "follower" category in terms of overall e-government service maturity. In 2004, the Republic was ranked 11th in the firm's report.

  • Rural Ireland suffering from lack of internet connectivity

    A new report on internet use published this month by the European Commission shows Ireland is still lagging behind our neighbours in Europe.

    Councillor Keith Martin says that it is very disturbing that these new figures show that Ireland ranks 19th out of EU 27 in terms of broadband for schools.

  • Social media and re-usable data in Ireland's new e-government programme

    All Irish public bodies are to draw up a plan of how they will make the most of social media to improve access to services. The policy appears in eGovernment 2012 - 2015 a government-wide strategy published last week. It also promises breakthroughs in open data - and in enforcing the use of a new public services identity card.

    The strategy, published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, marks a resurgence of interest in e-government. Although Ireland was an early leader in sectors such as online tax returns, e-services have taken a back seat in recent years while Dublin struggled with the country's economic crisis.
