My Department conducts its operations predominantly in property and buildings which are either State owned or rented or leased by the Office of Public Works (OPW) on behalf of my Department.
Details regarding the land, property and buildings owned or otherwise held by my Department and the agencies under its aegis are provided in the tables below. The first table lists buildings, properties owned, leased or otherwise held by my Department. The second table sets out the relevant buildings and properties held by bodies and agencies under my remit.
In relation to international protection accommodation, a total of 37 in-community properties were purchased by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth for the accommodation of vulnerable applicants, for whom group accommodation would not be suitable. 5 of these properties are located in Co. Cork. Information about the addresses of centres or residents is treated as confidential in order to preserve people's privacy, safety and anonymity. Accordingly, the individual addresses of these properties are not included in the table below.
It is not my intention as Minister to purchase any further properties of this type. In line with the Programme for Government, the State is working to develop more State-owned international protection accommodation and reduce reliance on commercially contracted accommodation.
As the Deputy may be aware, as property owners and building agents for An Garda Síochána, the OPW either owns or leases properties on behalf of An Garda Síochána. Details of all such properties that are leased or owned are held by the OPW. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
