Amharc ar fhreagraIn the time available, it has not been possible to identify and assemble all of the information requested. I am arranging for the compilation of data and a detailed reply will issue to the Deputy shortly.
325 Deputy Tony Gregory asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his Department has entered into any leasing arrangements for properties for the use of his Department; the details of the lease; the level of occupancy of the buildings; and the use to which the building is being put. [22997/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraLeasing of property and accommodation occupied by my Department is in the main managed by the Office of Public Works — my Department has no direct role in these matters. My Department has a direct involvement in leasing or renting only two small properties and details of these arrangements are set out in the table that follows this reply. The Government has decided that responsibility for the areas involved should transfer to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
