Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

I am informed by my officials that in August 2019, the OPW received email correspondence from Northside Home Care Services enquiring about obtaining floor space in the Northside Civic Centre.

My Officials have advised Northside Home Care Services that the space at the Centre is primarily assigned to Government Departments and other public bodies. The OPW is progressing the assignment of any current available space to a State body and, therefore, there is no space available for rent at the Centre.
