Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 April 2016
159. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the details of vacant State properties and land, including carparks not in use, owned by his Department or by bodies and agencies under the aegis of his Department by square footage, by location and by local authority in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6917/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAccommodation for my Department is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) in buildings which are either State owned or leased by OPW on our behalf. Therefore, my Department does not directly own any property.
Any property that is owned by Agencies of my Department is a matter for the individual Agencies concerned for which I have no direct function.
I have asked all Agencies under the aegis of my Department to provide the details of property that they own and I will communicate that information to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
