In general, all issues in relation to leases for Government Departments/Offices, including my Department, are a matter for the Office of Public Works. However, there are three locations where my Department has paid rent for premises, in the past three years, which is set out below. Information in relation to agencies, under the aegis of my Department, is a matter for the agencies themselves.
