130. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Health if he will provide details of all properties rented by his Department; the annual cost of the leases; the duration of the leases; and the capacity and occupancy of each premises as of 31 January 2015. [9460/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe only lease currently held by my Department is Block D, Irish Life Mall, Dublin 1. The annual cost of this lease is €98,500. The time remaining on this lease is 8 years and 9 months.
These premises were originally the head office of the Women's Health Council which has since been subsumed into my Department. We have had the premises sublet to other parties over the interim period and is now occupied on a temporary arrangement by the National Lottery Regulator. The capacity/occupancy of these premises is a matter for the Lottery Regulator. My Department is in negotiations with the Lottery Regulator regarding the transfer of the lease to them.
