The Office of Public Works (OPW) acts as an agent for Departments and is responsible for the provision of Government offices by lease/renting agreements at no direct cost to Departments. The terms of these leases/rents are a matter for the OPW. In addition, officials have been advised that none of the bodies under the aegis of the Department are owners/renting of office properties in the area referred to by the Deputy.
In regard to building rentals for purposes of school provision, I can confirm that my Department has no rental buildings in the area referred to by the Deputy.
