Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

Accommodation for my Department and its Offices is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) in buildings which are either State-owned or leased by OPW on our behalf. Typically, the Department is in shared accommodation with other Government Departments or public bodies.

Any building or renovation works across the property portfolio occupied by the Department and its Offices is undertaken by the OPW in conjunction with relevant contractors, where applicable. The information being sought is therefore a matter for the OPW.
