Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2018
273. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the number of vacant habitable dwelling units and vacant derelict residential dwelling units in the ownership of or part ownership of or under the control of both her Department and agencies under her remit; the county in which each unit is located; the length of time each unit has been vacant, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8658/18]
View answerAccommodation for my Department is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) in buildings which are either State owned or leased by OPW on our behalf. Therefore, my Department does not directly own, part own or control any habitable or derelict dwelling units.
Any such dwelling units under the remit of Agencies of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned for which I have no direct function. However, I have asked all Agencies to advise me of any such details, and I will communicate that information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
