Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 March 2012
127 Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of leases held by his Department, agencies or quangos that have upward only rent review clauses in which the body concerned is the landlord. [17722/12]
View answerWith regard to office accommodation, the Office of Public Works (OPW) acts as an agent for all Government Departments and is responsible for the provision of Government offices from the State portfolio or by lease agreement. The terms of the leases are a matter for the OPW. Accordingly my Department does not own any office properties. In addition none of the non-commercial bodies under the aegis of my Department are landlords and the issue of rent review clauses in leases does not arise.
