Ms Clare McGrath:

Usually, the accommodation officer determines this. I do not know what might be the layers within that role. However, in the instant case, if additional staff were coming in and as to how that was to be arranged in respect of ministerial accommodation, there would be conversations within the Department in respect of that. Moreover, one would have regard to equivalent ministerial accommodation within the Department, so that would inform the brief that would be given to us.
