My Department's headquarters, Hawkins House, is owned by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and the Adoption Board is located in Shelbourne House which is leased accommodation from OPW. The cost of general building maintenance for both facilities amounted to approximately €90,000 for 2009. Expenditure on electricity, including lighting, was €192,000 and heating costs amounted to €66,000 for 2009.

The position regarding the Health Service Executive and the other agencies is a matter for the agencies themselves. My Department is requesting them to reply directly to the Deputy.
