Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2013
148. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance if the Central Bank of Ireland was affected by a recent power disruption at the HP data centre in Santry, Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32939/13]
View answerI am informed by the Central Bank that as a result of facilities works at the HP Santry data centre on 21st June, a power interruption lasting 15 minutes took place. The impact was minor and did not interrupt any business service of the Central Bank. I am also informed that migration to the HP data centre is in its early stages and the bulk of services are not yet live. Accordingly, it was not necessary to consider invoking service continuity procedures.
