283. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the cost per year for the past three years for the storage of data and or files on cloud storage or third party servers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9399/17]
View answerNo costs have been incurred in the last three years for the storage of data and or files on cloud storage or third party servers in respect of IT services provided and managed directly by my Department.
IT services for the Heritage Division of my Department are provided by the Department of Housing, Planning, Community & Local Government. I understand that costs have been incurred by that Department in respect of the storage of data and or files in cloud storage or third party servers in the last three years. I will arrange for the information sought in respect of those costs to be forwarded to the Deputy within the agreed timelines set out in Standing Orders.
