The Office of Public Works provides all the principal offices premises occupied by my Department. Questions relating to leases and rent paid for those premises are a matter for that Office.
Arrangements regarding property leases taken by all other State bodies under the aegis of my Department are considered to be day-to-day operational matters for the organisations concerned and the details are not held within the Department.
The Irish Coast Guard, which is part of my Department, directly leases properties, the details of which are outlined in the table below.
