My Department's headquarters is located at Miesian Plaza, Baggot Street, Dublin 2. Below is the total amount expended on electricity from 2017 - 2021. We moved headquarters from Hawkins House to Miesian Plaza in July 2018.

My Department's server hardware infrastructure is hosted in data centres provided by the Department of Social Protection and the Revenue Commissioners. There are no costs to my Department in this regard as the energy costs are fully met by each hosting data centre.
