The employment contract of the non-established officers referred to is coterminous with the appointment of the relevant office holder. Infirmary Road is a State-owned building, currently occupied by the Department of Defence. The Office of Public Works has indicated that it is not possible at this time to apply a notional rent to the space apportioned to the Offices of the Minister. The costs associated with the accommodation of staff based in constituency offices are met by the Minister's own resources and supplemented by the Constituency Office Maintenance Allowance available to all Deputies. All costs in relation to the Ministers of State's constituency office are borne by Department of the Taoiseach.
