Question:

191 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he will supply an inventory of all assets, specifically land and buildings, disposed of by his Department in each of the past ten years; if transactions were in accordance with proper procedures in the case in which such apply; the date of each sale; the location and asset disposed of in each case; the disposal price agreed; and the purchaser involved. [16404/05]

Written answers

Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Mr. O’Donoghue)

My Department does not own any land or buildings and consequently did not dispose of any such assets since its establishment in June 2002. Some assets such as office machinery, furniture and fittings which had a nominal book value or were fully depreciated have been disposed of during this period. These were accounted for as appropriate in my Department's annual appropriation accounts.
