302. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government 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 uses data centres that are ISO 27001 compliant. My Department does not comment on operational security matters as it would be inappropriate to disclose information that may in any way assist those with malicious intent.

The information requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is set out in the following table.
