The figure of €43,490, previously provided in response to Question No. 474 of 2 April 2008 included both the cost of office rental and car parking spaces. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a breakdown. The building in question is Centre Park House in Cork city. This 10 year lease relates to a property on Centre Park Road in Cork city and was negotiated by the OPW in line with the best commercial practice.
