Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 May 2022
408. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the annual cost of cleaning and sanitising roofs of buildings under her Department’s control for the past five years to date in 2022. [25594/22]
View answerMy Department occupies offices in Trinity Point, Dublin 2 and Government Buildings in Ballina, Co. Mayo.
Our offices in Ballina are in the ownership of the Office of Public Works (OPW) and are shared with a number of Departments. In this case, roof maintenance, as non-elective works to a State building, are funded directly by the OPW.
Our offices in Trinity Point are leased on our behalf by the OPW and are also shared with a number of other organisations. I am informed that a roof maintenance regime is in place for the building and the associated costs are handled through the OPW. I understand that the costs associated with such works for the period specified by the Deputy totaled €2,948. These costs are an approximation based on my Department's share of the total floor space in the building.
