183. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment 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 the distance these data centres are to their offices; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department hosts the majority of its ICT systems in two of the Department's own buildings in the central Dublin area. It also hosts a very small number of ICT systems in the Revenue Hosting Centre, Dublin 8, which is approximately 4km from my Departments head office in Kildare Street. This was largely chosen for cost and location reasons.
With regard to the Agencies under the remit of my Department, this is an operational matter and I have referred the question to them for direct response to the Deputy.
