Different parts probably use different databases. What area are you looking at?

Each part of the HSE use different technologies, For example the hospitals would use similar systems but the local HSE offices could use different technologies.

I wouldn't go and give out specific information from my experience as its considered confidential and a lot of the systems especially the hospital systems are mission critical systems.

Not that it would be easy to but I don't any script kiddies getting ideas.

Everything and anything, despite recent efforts there is not that much standardisation, but there would not be much call for MySQL. Hows you COBOL and MUMPS? :-)
