As the Deputy will be aware the Office of Public Works (OPW) is largely responsible for the renting of properties used by Government Departments. In the time available, it has not been possible to identify and assemble the information requested. The OPW is compiling the relevant material and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
