Mr. Mark Griffin:
I will explain why it is being rented. Essentially, it is to have the cybersecurity unit in a self-contained premises Our headquarters building at Adelaide Road is rented and our lease is up in 2022. We are going into a new building that is being constructed by the OPW for the entirety of the Department. The National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, will join us at that point in a secure wing of the new building. Insofar as it arises over the next few years, the rental will no longer apply after that. We will get the Deputy a figure for the rent.
