We are enhancing the security of our Digital Hub Portal by introducing a new registration and sign-in process and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA is an extra layer of protection for your account, ensuring that only you can access your information. You can now click on the My Account button to reset your password and login. It takes just a few minutes and you will then have access to your digital services. See our step-by-step video here. For new account creation please email helpdesk@rcpi.ie. Thank you for your patience while we undertake these necessary security and system updates.  For support contact: helpdesk@rcpi.ie
