I wish to advise the Deputy that no new office space has been procured, purchased or rented by my Department. The matter of securing office accommodation is the responsibility of the Office of Public Works.

With regard to office equipment for my Department in the past 10 years, to date, such expenditure amounts to some €0.95m. This relates to furniture-related items only and the annual expenditure is outlined below.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my officials are currently reviewing IT-related equipment expenditure records in relation to this request. The request covers a significant time period and, in light of this, I regret to advise that it was not possible to provide the information sought in the time available to respond to this Parliamentary Question. Therefore, I will make arrangements to provide the information to the Deputy in line with Standing Order 42A.
