View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that no new office space has been procured, purchased or rented by my Department. The matter of securing office accommodation is the responsibility of the Office of Public Works.
With regard to office equipment for my Department in the past 10 years, to date, such expenditure amounts to some €1.92m. This relates to furniture-related items and the annual expenditure is outlined below.
