Details on the accessibility of buildings occupied by my Department are set out in the following table. A number of other buildings are occupied by MET Éireann staff throughout the country from which services are not provided to members of the public.
It is an objective of my Department to ensure that all offices are accessible to people with disabilities and this is factored into the specifications as offices are upgraded.
