Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 May 2016
132. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the number of Irish embassies that are based in properties that his Department rents; and how much each of these properties cost to rent in 2013, 2014 and 2015. [10826/16]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is listed in the following table. Figures relate to rental payments from 2013 - 2015. My Department proactively manages our lease portfolio and engages actively with our Missions on an ongoing basis to ensure value for money and that, where possible, savings are made. This does not include Multi-lateral Missions or Consulates.
