Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 April 2017
439. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the number of vacant buildings or units in the ownership or control of the Office of Public Works; the locations of same; and the length of time they have been unoccupied in each case. [17925/17]
View answerI am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that the information sought by the Deputy is currently being collated. A detailed response will issue directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
The table sets out the properties owned by the Commissioners of Public Works which are currently vacant. The majority of these properties are former Garda stations that were closed as part of the policing plans of An Garda Síochána in 2012 and 2013. The future use of the former Garda stations will be determined once the review of closed Garda stations being undertaken as part of the Programme for a Partnership Government has concluded.
The non-Garda station properties on this list are currently being examined to determine their potential for future State use. Properties for which there is no alternative State use identified will be disposed of on the open market through an advertised process. A number of properties on this list are being retained for strategic purposes.
