Written answers

Minister for Rural and Community Development

My Department was established in July 2017 and occupies office space at two locations - Trinity Point, 10/11 Leinster Street South, Dublin 2, and Government Buildings, Ballina, Co. Mayo.  No ground rents in respect of same are incurred by my Department.  

There are four agencies under my Department’s remit:  Pobal, the Charities Regulator, the Western Development Commission, and Water Safety Ireland. Each agency is an independent legal entity responsible for managing its own corporate affairs in compliance with its respective statutory obligations.

Details of the Oireachtas contact point in respect of  each agency is set out beneath.  These contact points would be in a position to provide the Deputy with information sought on any ground rent payable in each case, if applicable.
