Costs associated with car parking spaces at Department of Transport premises tend to be integrated into property leasing costs generally, the arrangements for which are made by the Office of Public Works on behalf of the Department. The OPW is thus responsible for the provision of the information sought by the Deputy.

Insofar as the agencies under the aegis of the Department of Transport are concerned, the arrangements for the lease, rental or purchase of car parking spaces are matters to be dealt with directly by the agencies concerned.
