There are 97 Computer Servers owned by my Department. These servers are located in and provide services to our three main sites in Dublin, Athlone and Tullamore as well as our regional offices and the offices of the National Educational Psychological Service. These servers also host our eGovernment services.

My Department does not lease Computer Servers. The storage capacity of the servers range from a minimum of 80 Gigabytes to a maximum of 970 Gigabytes.

The information sought in relation to the bodies under the aegis of my Department is not readily available and would involve an inordinate amount of administrative time to compile. However, if the Deputy has any particular agency in mind I would be happy to have my officials obtain the relevant details and communicate them to the Deputy.
