Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

One of the roles of the Office of Public Works (OPW) is to provide office accommodation to all Government Departments. The OPW owns or leases the buildings which my Department occupies. These buildings are generally occupied by numerous Government Departments. As such, my Department would not have the information which the Deputy is seeking.

The information requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas.
