A widespread technology disruption is affecting Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s communications and day-to-day operations. Residents could face slower responses to emails and other requests, while those needing to make contact can call the local authority directly.
A widespread Microsoft service outage is disrupting IT systems at Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, potentially delaying emails and other enquiries.
The council is among organisations and individual users affected worldwide. The outage has reportedly hit Microsoft programmes including Teams, Outlook and the Copilot AI software, which support aspects of the council’s daily work and communications.
Emails and other enquiries may take longer to reach the council, be processed or receive a response. The council is monitoring updates from Microsoft and working to limit the impact on its services.
It has apologised for the inconvenience and asked for patience. Anyone who needs to contact the council can phone 01 205 4700.
