329. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the number of offices operated by his Department that are in high-risk areas for radon; the number that have been tested for radon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28576/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department operates one office in the centre of Dublin. This building was provided from existing State owned office space in September 2021 with staff beginning to move in thereafter. This office space has not been tested for Radon since my Department took up occupancy. I can confirm that having consulted previous maps and the updated Radon Risk Map provided on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website that my office falls within a low risk area for radon. As such there are no current plans to test for radon but this will be kept under review.
