Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 December 2015
669. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the ground rents he or agencies under the remit of his Department pay, by named property, by name of landlord and by amount payable, in 2015 and 2016 in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45049/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAny properties occupied by my Department are either leased or owned by the Office of Public Works and the question of any ground rents payable is the responsibility of that body.
Bodies operating under the aegis of my Department are separate legal entities in their own right. The issues raised by the Deputy are part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies in question and are matters for the bodies concerned.
