Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 October 2021
250. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of offices currently being rented or in ownership of his Department which are currently not in use by the Department. [51119/21]
View answerAccommodation 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 the OPW on our behalf. The Department does not own any properties and we fully utilise the accommodation provided by the OPW.
Typically, the Department and its Offices are tenants in shared accommodation, either with other Government Departments, public bodies or the private sector.
Currently, the OPW provides office space in 11 buildings across the country for use by the Department and its Offices, across six buildings in Dublin and five buildings across Carlow, Cork, Ennis, Kilkenny and Sligo.
