134. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Transport the location of the data centre or centres used by his Department; the reason it was chosen; the distance it is from his Department's offices; if he will identify the centres used by each agency under his Department's aegis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe data centres used by my Department are split between central government (OGCIO) and Departmental locations. The OGCIO’s Managed Desktop and Managed Hosting services use a number of data centres which are ISO 27001 certified and are located across Dublin City and the greater Dublin area. These data centres are Government owned facilities. The government data centres used directly by my Department are also ISO certified and are located in Dublin and County Clare. One data centre in County Clare is housed in the Department's own office.
