Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 May 2022
321. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the annual cost of cleaning and sanitising roofs of buildings under his Department’s control for the past five years to date in 2022. [25589/22]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department was established in August 2020 and commenced moving headquarters into existing State-owned office space in September 2021. I can also confirm that my Department currently has no cleaning or sanitising costs related to the roofs of the building under our control.
Building works have been ongoing since our move into my Departmental HQ and as such we are not in control or occupation of the top floor of the building and have no responsibility for the roof structure. The Office of Public Works is currently involved in a tendering process to carry out repairs to the roof of the building.
