189. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport the number of properties either owned or leased by his Department that are currently vacant; the length of time the properties have been vacant for; and the location of the properties, in tabular form. [13834/24]
View answerAll office and other accommodation occupied by the Department of Transport is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) as the responsible body for the procurement of office and other accommodation required by Government Departments.
My Department currently owns one vacant property, the Dun Laoghaire rocket house, which is registered as being owned by the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG). It is a small stone built structure in Dun Laoghaire Harbour area accessed via an adjacent property. Judged not to be fit for habitation, the building was condemned in 2012. IRCG is seeking advice regarding disposal of this site.
