Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I can inform the Deputy that my Department is at an advanced point in a programme of works to relocate and enhance its Head Office accommodation in Dublin. It is intended, with the assistance of the Office of the Public Works, to take and follow best practice advice regarding radon testing of that and its other accommodation.
