Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department of Children and Youth Affairs does not own any vacant State property or land, including car parks not in use.
In relation to bodies under the aegis of the Department, there is currently one sole occupancy property, owned by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, which is currently vacant. This property is located at 69 Amiens Street, Dublin 1 in the Dublin City Council area. Tusla has informed me that it is endeavouring to secure funding for a change of use from residential to office accommodation in order to meet future office accommodation requirements for the Agency. The property in question is approximately 310m2.
