Given the range of Government Departments, Offices and Agencies under my aegis and the geographical spread of car parking facilities, it has not been possible to collate all the requested information in the time available. I can, however, advise the Deputy that in relation to my own Department there are just under 280 car parking spaces available to staff. The majority of these are attached to state owned property, with 48 car parking spaces incurring an annual rental cost in the region of €150,000.

Available information in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department is provided in the following table. Any outstanding information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
