Expenditure in 2008 on heating in the Department's main offices in Dublin, including Met Éireann, and in Ballina amounted to €102,808. While the Department operates from over forty locations nationwide, it is not possible to give a total figure in respect of all locations, as a number of offices have electric heating, which is not identified separately from other elements of the electricity bill. Expenditure on heating for the bodies under the aegis of the Department is a matter for the agencies themselves.
