Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 May 2013
57. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will set out by country, the latest valuation of property assets owned by the State as part of foreign diplomatic missions, including embassies, consulates, chanceries and other diplomatic representation as well as residential property used by the State for its diplomatic activity, indicating the euro valuation and the year of valuation. [24699/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below. However, I would caution that the valuation figures provided are subject to the price volatility of the current global property market.
The properties listed have been acquired in locations where the Government considers that the State should be represented and where there is a clear economic advantage to owning, rather than renting, accommodation. These premises provide platforms for the promotion of Irish values and economic interests and serve as showcases for Irish arts, crafts and products.
