Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

In general, queries relating to building or renovation projects for Government Departments/Offices, including my Department, are a matter for the Office of Public Works (OPW).

As regards the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
