124. Deputy Seán Conlan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection for a list of all buildings surveyed and evaluated by the Office of Public Works, which it has furnished or not to her, regarding the provision of a new building in which to house the Department of Social Protection offices currently situated on Main Street in Ballybay, County Monaghan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2265/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of Public Works (OPW) is the exclusive procurer of office accommodation for the Civil Service and the sole authority for allocating space to the Civil Service. While we are aware that the OPW looked at a number of properties, we are not aware of the extent of survey and evaluation. Following visits to a number of properties, the OPW narrowed their list down to two properties that would meet the accommodation brief previously submitted by my Department. These properties were:
1. Ballybay Enterprise Park, Ballybay, County Monaghan.
2. Teach O’Cleircin, Monaghan Town, County Monaghan.
