Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General Appropriation Accounts 2013
Vote 13 - OPW
Chapter 4 - Accounting for OPW Agency Services

10:00 am

Ms Clare McGrath:

We take a lease on the basis of the brief which outlines a requirement for a particular number of places. We also take a lease on the basis of costs per square metre or square foot in the market. We have regard to what is available in a location, the market rates in that location and we pay rent commensurate with the market rates in that location, based on the size of the property. I take the point the Deputy is making on the effective use of the accommodation.
