My Department has its own offsite file storage facility in a business park in Finglas Dublin 11.
As well as managing its own files, the Department provides file management services to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Files that are 20 years or older, in addition to files that are due to be archived, are stored in the Department's off-site storage facility. Files that are currently in use or waiting to be moved to the Departmental off-site facility are stored in the file management section which is located in Government Buildings, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2.
The total transport costs in respect of retrieving and returning files to and from the Department's off-site storage facility in respect of both Departments for the period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2016 are as follows:
