Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

I am informed by my officials that the Old Courthouse in Tuam, County Galway is not owned by the Commissioners of Public Works or by the Minister for Public Expenditure; Infrastructure; Public Service Reform and Digitalisation.
