I propose to take Questions Nos. 452 and 453 together.

In general, buildings occupied by my Department are rented or leased by the Office of Public Works. The rents paid by my Department for office space rented directly are listed below.

In relation to the office space at Cork Airport, rent for 2009, 2010 and 2011 is yet to be paid, pending the finalisation of discussions with the Dublin Airport Authority which manages the airport.

The contracts do not contain upward-only rent review clauses.
