Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 March 2024
179. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Transport the ground rents payable by his Department or agencies under its remit, by named property, by name of landlord and by amount payable, in the years 2016 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10425/24]
View answerThe Office of Public Works (OPW) is predominately responsible for the procurement, purchase and rent of office and other accommodation required for Government Departments, including the Department of Transport. The Department does however pay rent on the Valentia Marine Rescue Sub- Centre. Sir Adrian Fitzgerald has been paid a sum of €2,000 a year for the years 2016 to date.
The renting, leasing and hiring of office space for public bodies under the aegis of my Department is a matter for those bodies and accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to them for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
