Question 316: To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation his view that he or any agency funded by him who own properties in office complexes in which a management company is in place, should take an active role in the running of such management companies including the appointment of a nominee to the board of the company in order to protect the investment of tax payers' money.

My Department and the eight Offices of my Department do not own or lease any properties and therefore have no role in regard to management companies in office complexes. All the properties occupied by the Department and its Offices are provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW).

With reference to the concerns of the Deputy in regard to the management of office complexes of any Agency funded by my Department, this is a day to day matter for the Agencies concerned and is not an area in which I have any function.
