My Department pays the rent on office space in two buildings in the State: · Ground floor of Hospitality House, Cumberland Street, Dublin 2. The rental cost in 2009 was €144,900 and the length of the lease is 20 years. However, the lease on these premises is being terminated this year. · Ground floor of Findlater House, 27 -31 Upper O'Connell Street, Dublin 1. The rental cost in 2009 was €419,175. The lease on these premises is for 4 years and 11 months and was negotiated by the Office of Public Works on behalf of my Department.
All other rent commitments relating to properties in the State occupied by the Department of Foreign Affairs are discharged by the Office of Public Works.
