CONSTITUENCY OFFICES
The Northern Ireland Assembly is about to supply a system
to Constituency Offices consisting of 1 x PC with remote dial-in
capability (ISDN or modem depending on Member's preference), 1
x scanner, 1 x desktop printer, zip-drive backup, hardware support.
SERVICES
We operate an in-house Helpdesk support service 9 am-5 pm
for Members and support staff based in Parliament Buildings.
For Constituency Offices, service details have still to be
finalised; most likely hardware support will be via the hardware
provider, software support may be provided by the in-house Helpdesk
system.
We have also recently been offering training courses to Members
and Support Staff free of charge, but may begin to charge for
these.
