Politics.ie is back up.Our server migration is complete. Our apologies for the delay. We ran into a problem with database corruption and it was necessary to do a complete repair.

Server migration is continuing - taking a bit longer than anticipated. We anticipate being live soon.

Site went down again this morning. It doesn't appear Jdeg will be able to solve the deeper database issues - talking directly to the host. Site will be up and down intermittently. We should be faster currently but I will be monitoring the site through the night.

We've been back up and stable for the past hour. Taking some automation steps with host to avoid this happening in the future. Thank you for your patience.

Currently dealing with server issues talking with our host right now. The length of this particular outage stems from me being in international transit for the past 22 hours. Thank you for the emails but don't worry we should be up soon.
