The leasing/renting of premises by agencies is the responsibility of individual agencies and is determined by their particular staffing and administrative needs. The information is not generally centrally collated. However, I attach relevant information in relation to the leasing/renting of premises from the private sector by agencies under my Department's aegis. This information was collated recently in relation to a similar Parliamentary Question.
