Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 May 2013
233. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport under the category of office premises expenses, if he will list the individual offices operated by his Department in the State alongside the expenses that they will incur in 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24857/13]
View answerA list of the individual offices requested is set out in the table below.
Expenses such as utilities (oil, gas and electricity) and building maintenance are charged to the Office Premises Expenses category of the Departmental budget. Estimating annual expenditure on these items presents significant challenges. For example in the case of utilities which are a large item in this budget, expenditure can vary according to weather conditions. Therefore for practical reasons it is not feasible to compile an estimate on a building by building basis. In recent years every effort has been made to reduce expenditure in this area through initiatives such as motion sensor lighting and more energy efficient heating systems. Expenditure on office furniture has also been significantly reduced. It is the policy of the Department of Transport to operate within budget and achieve savings wherever possible. There has been a decrease in expenditure in this area in recent years.
