Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The current combined annual cost of the leases for the Harcourt Square complex is €5,405,000. The Office of Public Works is currently undertaking a rationalisation programme of its leased estate and the release of information relating to lease expiries is not considered appropriate at this point in time. I can confirm that these leases include upward only rent review clauses.
