The annual rent for the office space at Dockgate in Galway was €744,825.84 for 2006 and 2007. This included a cost of €53,646.45 per annum for 65 car park spaces. In addition, service charges of approximately €74,000 were paid each year.

The entire space leased by the Commissioners of Public Works at this location is allocated to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. I understand from the Department that the space is being utilised for staff in the Veterinary Office, Agricultural Environment and Structures Office, Inspectorate, Irish Language Unit, and is being considered as a location to accommodate other Department staff in Galway City and County.
