For the purposes of the Deputy's question, the interpretation being taken of full accessibility is the capacity of each building to provide access to disabled persons by means of the main entrance.
| Building | Accessibility |
| 25 Clare Street, Dublin 2. | No. (Rear access only). |
| 44 Kildare Street, Dublin 2. | Yes. |
| Frederick Buildings, South Frederick St, Dublin 2. | No. (Only through basement area). |
| 59 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 | No. |
| Leeson Lane, Dublin 2. | Yes. |
| Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey St, Dublin 1. | Yes. |
| Road Transport Operator Licensing Unit, Clonfert House, Bride Street, Loughrea, Co. Galway. | Yes. |
| Vehicle Registration Unit, Shannon Town Centre, Shannon, Co. Clare. | Yes. |
| Irish Coast Guard, Acorn Business Campus, Mahon Industrial Estate, Blackrock, Cork, Co. Cork. | Yes. |
| Marine Rescue Co-ordination Centre, Valentia Island, Co. Kerry. | Yes. |
| Marine Rescue Co-ordination Centre, Malin Head, Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. | No. |
| Coast Guard Stores, Unit 1, Rosemount Business Park, Ballycoolin Business Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15. | Yes. |
| Marine Survey Office, Government Buildings, Sullivan's Quay, Cork | Yes. |
| Marine Survey Office, Town Council Buildings, Abbeyview, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal | Yes. |
Disability access to buildings occupied by my Department is kept under regular review and the Department liaises closely with the Universal Access Unit in OPW in order to progressively upgrade existing disability access.
