Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2018
156. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance the number of vacant habitable dwelling units and vacant derelict residential dwelling units in the ownership of or part-ownership of or under the control of both his Department and agencies under his remit; the county in which each unit is located; the length of time each unit has been vacant, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8665/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to the Deputy's question, my Department manages and controls the shared accommodation needs of both the Department of Finance and Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in respect of Departmental staff occupying accommodation within the State’s buildings portfolio. My Department is not involved in any direct rental of buildings occupied by staff. Departmental accommodation needs are provided for by the Office of Public Works via the OPW’s Property Management Services Section. In that regard, OPW are separately providing details in respect of properties falling within the remit of the OPW Commissioners.
I am advised that none of the bodies under the aegis of my Department has vacant habitable dwelling units or vacant derelict residential dwelling units in their ownership or part ownership or under their control.
