Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 March 2014
33. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a list of all land and property owned by Dublin City Council in the Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8 areas; if each local authority is required to maintain a list of the properties it owns; if this is shared with central Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11705/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have no function in the matter in question and my Department does not have the information requested. The maintenance of records of properties in their ownership is a matter for each local authority.
I am advised that the Office of Public Works (OPW) has convened a Steering Group on Property Asset Management, drawn from the main public service bodies that have significant property experience and interests, with the intention of promoting greater efficiency and coordination of property asset management in the wider public service and the adoption throughout the public service of energy conservation measures. My Department and the County and City Managers’ Association are represented. In relation to a register of properties, the main focus of the Group is on office accommodation.
