[7379/22]
View answerAccommodation for my Department is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and my Department is a tenant in buildings which are either State owned or leased by OPW on our behalf. The accommodation is typically shared with other Government Departments, public bodies and/or with private sector companies with limited car parking spaces available to staff.
In conjunction with the OPW, my Department shares two electric vehicle charging points at 23 Kildare Street, Dublin with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
In the three other State-owned buildings occupied by Departmental staff, we will continue our engagement with the OPW and the other tenants in those locations, as to the feasibility of providing electric charging points locally.
The other seven buildings occupied by staff of the Department and other tenants are leased by the OPW on our behalf. We we are dependent on the relevant landlord and local building management company for the provision of certain facilities in those locations. There are currently no electric charging vehicle points available to the Department across these locations.
