Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 December 2021
191. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the amount expended by his Department in each of the past five years to date in 2021 on electricity costs in tabular form; and if he will provide an additional schedule that sets out all energy costs associated with their ICT hardware, that is, servers and so on in tabular form. [60947/21]
View answerExpenditure by the Department of Transport on electricity, is set out below in tabular form for the years 2017 to date. I have provided a breakdown of the expenditure across all Department locations.
It is not possible to provide a schedule setting out energy costs associated with ICT hardware as this level of detail is not available from the electricity service providers; ICT hardware costs are included in the overall electricity expenditure figures provided below.
In addition to the sites mentioned below, my Department also avails of ICT hosting services provided by the Revenue Commissioners and my Department does not have access to the breakdown of the electricity costs associated with this service.
