Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - State Office Accommodation. – Dáil Éireann (19th Dáil) – Wednesday, 21 Jun 1972

Mr. L'Estrange

asked the Minister for Finance (a) the names of offices at present occupied by civil servants or other Government agencies which are rented, (b) the addresses of these offices, (c) from whom they are rented and (d) the annual rent paid in each case.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance (Mr. Lemass)

The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

I regret I have no information at my disposal in relation to offices rented by other Government agencies.

It is not the practice to disclose the amount of commercial rents payable in respect of individual properties and it would not be in the public interest to do so. The total amount of commercial rents payable in respect of offices occupied by Government staffs is approximately £850,000 per annum at present.

Following is the statement:
