Written answers

The cost of services in 2021 provided to my Department in respect of addressing the cyber-attack was approximately €586,000 excl. VAT. My Department's systems were fully available shortly after the cyber-attack.

In respect of the Health Service Executive, as this is a service matter I have asked them to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible.
