Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 October 2025
416. Deputy Eoin Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Youth the details of the vacant buildings owned by her Department or by agencies under the remit of her Department in Dublin 2, 4, 6, and 6W, including, the address and size in square meters; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57108/25]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below. There are currently two vacant properties (for which there are no building projects planned or in train). However, this position can evolve and is kept under review. There are currently no properties leased by my Department that are vacant.
By way of information the number of properties owned by my Department is very small. A large majority of schools are patron-owned with only approximately 9% of schools in Ministerial ownership nationwide.
