Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

My Department does not own any properties, land or car parks. The Department's accommodation needs are provided for by the Office of Public Works (OPW).

The issue as it relates to bodies operating under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for those bodies and one in which I have no function.
