Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 December 2021
210. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the amount expended by her Department in each of the past five years to date in 2021 on electricity costs in tabular form; and if she 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. [60946/21]
View answerI would refer the Deputy to the reply given to the House in response to Parliamentary Question No 38 of 2nd December last. For the Deputy's convenience the information sought in respect of electricity costs incurred by my Department is set out in the table below. Separate figures are not available for energy costs incurred on ICT hardware.
The Deputy will wish to note that figures for the period 2017-2019 also include costs incurred in respect of Heritage functions, responsibility for which transferred to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage as part of the reconfiguration of Departments in 2020.
