Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department (which includes the Office of Government Procurement) does not lease or own any properties that are currently unoccupied.

With the exception of the Office of Public Works (OPW), this is also the case for each of the bodies under the aegis of my Department. I have been advised that the OPW are currently collating the information requested and it will be provided directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
