Details in relation to properties leased by my Department are contained in the following table.

For completeness, I should add that my Department, as then configured, made a payment of €105,000 in 2010 to avail of storage facilities for archive material relating to the National Monument Service. The premises in Swords, Co. Dublin, is leased from the Office of Public Works by the National Museum of Ireland. It is being used to establish a centralised collection resource centre to provide appropriate accommodation for the management and care of the National Museum's reserve collections. A share (c. 14%) of this accommodation is provided to the National Monument Service. A one year rent free period arose for the facility in 2011 and rent will become payable again from mid-2012.
