Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

Due to the nature of its role, my Department does not provide services directly to the general public. Access to accommodation and buildings shared by my Department and the Department of Finance is provided by an Access Officer (services and buildings) in the Department of Finance. This arrangement and the contact details for the Access Officer are listed in the Customer Action Plan and Charter for the Department of Finance. This information is also available via the Quality Customer Service link on the Department of Finance website.
