Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I wish to advise the Deputy that the majority of properties occupied by my Department and its agencies are owned or leased on its behalf by the Office of Public Works (OPW).

I can confirm that my Department has no vacant habitable or derelict dwelling units in its ownership. Details in respect of agencies under my remit have been requested and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
