Written answers
The Commissioners of Public Works hold leases on three properties that are currently vacant pending reallocation to a Government Department:
1. Office at Island House, Cathedral Square, Galway; annual rent €105,120. The Department of Social Protection’s staff and functions transferred to the new Intreo Centre in Galway in late 2015. The Commissioners are negotiating an early surrender as there are no other State requirements for the facility.
2. Office in Civic Building, Blessington, Co. Wicklow, annual rent €4,338. This office was closed by the Department of Social Protection in 2015 and alternative uses for this property are under consideration at present.
3. Storage Unit in Tramore, Co. Waterford; annual rent €32,505.29. This storage unit was previously used by the Revenue Commissioners and early surrender is being pursued as there are no other State requirements for the property.
The Departments of Social Protection and Finance do not hold any property under lease.
