The costs for retrieval and return of hard copy files stored at off site locations for my Department for the last three years are set out below. At all times, value for money is a critical consideration in the context of off-site storage.

No costs have been incurred in the last three years for the storage of data and or files on cloud storage or third party servers in respect of IT services provided and managed directly by my Department.

IT services for the Heritage Division of my Department are provided by the Department of Housing, Planning, Community & Local Government. I understand that costs have been incurred by that Department in respect of the storage of data and or files in cloud storage or third party servers in the last three years. I will arrange for the information sought in respect of those costs to be forwarded to the Deputy within the agreed timelines set out in Standing Orders.
