Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

All property occupied by my Department is either leased or owned by the Office of Public Works and my Department has no vacant sites, property or land owned in County Meath or elsewhere in the country.

The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency.  My Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly with the information sought.
