- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021) Pearse Doherty: Regarding the figures provided by the Minister of State, in 2019 there were 98 vacant properties, but that number has since decreased to 76.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021) Pearse Doherty: I will not go into the history of this scandalous situation of Hibernia Reit owning this property, which the State owned a number of years ago through NAMA, as I have been through it with the Minister of State's predecessors.
