Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2023
352. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Justice if the Garda Ombudsman owns properties or sites which are vacant or derelict; if so, the number and addresses of such properties; if they are recorded on the vacancy or dereliction registers; and the reason for which they are vacant or derelict, in tabular form. [43701/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) is independent in the exercise of its functions and administration. As Minister I have no role in these matters, nor can I comment on them.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from GSOC and have been advised that GSOC does not own any derelict or vacant sites or properties.
