Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Deputy Brendan Smith)

The lease, rental or purchase of car parking spaces is a matter for the Office of Public Works in accordance with the provision of accommodation for this Department.

Insofar as the State agencies under the aegis of my Department are concerned the issues raised in the question are a matter for the agencies themselves as part of their day-to-day activities.
